    Banana Pecan pancake combo
    Jennifer D.

    First time coming here and it was really good! My husband got the Karen's berry french toast combo and I got the banana pecan pancakes combo and they were both delicious. The service was nice, staff were very friendly and helpful. The food came out pretty fast, but we did go on a Tuesday morning. The restaurant itself was giving grandparents kitchen vibes, and we loved it. Will definitely come again.

    New York Steak and Eggs

    I basically come here once a week now. Happy every time! Everything I've tried is delicious. Lunch and breakfast options something for everyone in the family

    Eggs Benedict
    Tanya N.

    Customer service is amazing every time I visit. They promptly welcome you and you feel right at home. The food options are endless and are very accommodating with any request. Highly recommended!

    Hobo scramble with over easy eggs

    Food was amazing! So delicious, went around 11 am and it was pretty packed but they worked fast on making sure everything was going good. Great breakfast!

    Karen's omelette , chicken fried steak and kids pancake
    Jenniferann F.

    Karen's omelette , chicken fried steak and kids pancake everything was flavorful and our waitress friendly and service was quick!

    Bill for family of 5!!

    Gratuity added on 5 people! Overpriced!!! I recently visited this restaurant with my family of five. We ordered four entrées and just 2 coffees and 3 waters, and the bill came out to over $100--which felt extremely overpriced for what we received. The food was decent and the service was good, but not enough to justify that kind of total. What really surprised me was that a tip was automatically added to the bill. While I understand tipping is customary, automatically adding it in this type of casual dining restaurant felt unnecessary!!I usually tip for good service, but I prefer to decide the amount myself. Overall, the combination of high prices and the added tip made the experience feel like poor value. Sadly, it's enough for us to decide not to return.

    Two pancakes, two eggs and meat

    I have only been here for breakfast so I can't comment on their other menu items. Breakfast has always been good. I would say kind of a typical breakfast place omelettes pancakes, waffles etc. this time I got the order to go, but we have eaten there in person and always had good service. I usually get the corned beef hash, which is canned I would say typical for most portion sizes are good and we've never had an issue.

The veggies were obviously from frozen and were not very enjoyable. I spent roughly $55 for the entree plus $2 for the sautéed mushrooms which were also disappointing. All in all just not a great tasting meal. After tip and tax $70 was the total and I feel disappointed tricked. I would ask the chef to please put a little more love into your food. If you are going to sauté mushrooms, use some butter, not cooking oil. Get a little flame on your steaks to bring out the flavor and let it acclimate a little bit before you throw it on the grill so it stays juicy. Use fresh vegetables, not frozen or cooked and reheated the next day. The service was great BTW. Only I could tell she knew I wasn't enjoying my meal, which is probably why she didn't ask me how I liked it. On the other hand I had an excellent meal at Broken Bit steakhouse not far from here the day before. The chef should go there and learn something. Oh yeah and my meal was $10 less there.

We'd definitely come back for brunch.

    Let's check off the key things on the list:…read more Service 5 - due to both the excellent service provided by Jackie, other wait staff, and very good bar staff. Food 3-5 - we've had mixed experiences, but mostly very good. There aren't any off menu requests accepted. One cannot replace ingredients. One can only remove specific items from a menu choice. Don't even ask. Apparently the chef's policy is absolute. Ambiance 4-5 nicely decorated and designed. Has a high end feel that is unusual for the AV. So why the 3 stars? One single experience. My wife asked the server (Jackie) if it would be possible to get a side of sauteed mushrooms. She said probably not as it's not permitted by the chef. We asked to speak to the manager to express our disappointment. When Jake showed up, before we uttered a word, he stated that it's just something they don't do, so no to our request. Then he turned and walked away. There was no dialogue. It was a one way conversation. In essence, we and our request were dismissed. The experience was incredibly off-putting. It was unnecessary to respond to a patron's request in that manner. Totally unacceptable. I write this review to memorialize the experience for others, because it won't matter to the owner/chef/management. It seems, judging by their total lack of response to other reviews, good or bad, that it really doesn't. Typical dinners we've had run a tab of $150-200 (including tip). We have visited 1-2 times a month for the past two years. We have brought friends and family on several occasions, generating additional per-visit revenue for the restaurant. Again, this doesn't seem to matter. So, sadly, we're going to have to take a leave of this place. Too bad really.

Then I was asked specifically what did I order, even though they were looking at my detailed receipt. I told them and they started on the order. My order was with no caramelized onions. The order was thrown together and thrown into the box, with caramelized onions. I just basically took the bag and left. That was 12:31 PM. The presentation due to their hurried attempts to include my order, was also a disaster. First and likely last visit.
