But I made it in before peach season was over and it is truly my favorite time of the year Their peach Crepes are heaven. I always get the Dutch baby but peaches trump the DB. Our food was DELISH & our server was as sweet & efficient as can be. This food is not cheap and I understand people say it's breakfast food and consider it overpriced, but for me, I don't cook and eat out all the time, combined with the service and cozy atmosphere I think it's well worth the cost, my opinion. They have a great system and they stick to it. And it's a nice diverse crowd in there which I enjoy. Young old black white and everything in between.

Potatoes were extremely crispy on the outside and softer on the inside which I love. Everyone with me enjoyed their food as well! Place was fairly small which felt great, but I could see it being hard to come when busy. We were there on a Friday for brunch and it wasn't packed but a good flow of people through. Service was great. QR code ordering at your table which I think is convenient and the online menu had pictures to help you decide what to get! Can't wait to come back and try the pancakes next time!

Looks like lots of options for both of us. We made a reservation via the website and it is highly recommended. There is parking across the street, as that is the worst part of the experience,but the staff were excellent. We found lots of choices on the menu and food came out hot and pretty fast, especially considering how busy they were. We are happy for the owner(s), as you can see how hard they worked to create a great menu and service crew. Well done!!

This is the most elite breakfast spot I've been to since moving here…read more We tried coming here a few months ago, but they were booked out and full so we had time again recently and made reservations (highly recommend!) There is a parking lot across the street, but also street parking. This is such darling and refreshing space. It is a small restaurant surrounded by plants and gardening items. We opted for indoor seating since we had our little one. The service was lovely - not pushy, and just very chill. We ordered a Calabrian egg dish with poached eggs and toast. If you looove yolks and runny eggs, that is for you! We also got the egg toast which is a soft scrambled egg on top of toast - so good with the creme fraiche and bread. I also ordered a standard breakfast for my toddler off the kid's menu - eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. As for drinks: an iced vanilla latte, a lavender lemonade, and an orange juice. Great drinks, but I think the kid's OJ was the best, lol! It was hella fresh and he did not want to share with us lol This is a MUST for brunch especially if you're looking for chill vibes

For breakfast options, I recommend the cacio e pepe soft scramble eggs and the buttermilk pancakes with blueberries. Bowood features housemade pastries that rotate and sell out so I recommend ordering those upon arrival. The seasonal poptarts are a fun treat. The entire space is bright and surrounded by greens as it is adjacent to the Bowood Farms, where you can procure plants, flowers, gifts, and garden items. Currently they are opened for brunch and lunch every day from 8am to 2pm but I do recommend reservations as they are often fully committed.

I'm glad I entered from the opposite way google maps wanted me to add the lot isn't as big as it should be. The seating inside is a little cramped to me, at least where they sat us. It was a 2 top next to the wall across from a 4 top. Between our table and the next was a tiny path to the bathroom area which is too close. Next time, I'll be specific with where not to seat me. Outside of that, the service was really good. Great staff, very attentive. Menu had a nice option so it took us a minute to fully review the menu. The food was delicious. Cinnamon roll was very sweet as expected so brace yourself. My menu mimosa was pretty good. A lot of pulp from the mango and not enough champagne but still enjoyable. We will definitely.

My husband and I wanted to try a new breakfast spot. We stopped by another spot in the area but the…read morewait time was over an hour. So we pivoted and came across Chris' pancakes. Upon arriving, the parking lot appeared jammed pack, and you could tell there was a wait. I checked us in to be put on the waiting list. Our wait was about 30 minutes. We were sat at a two top table. A server came over to grab our drink order, and our actual server came over to introduce his self. Our server was polite and willing to answer any questions I had. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered short stack pancakes (w/strawberries and blueberries), bacon and eggs. The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and savory. Bacon was crispy, and eggs were cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a country omelet that came with a side of pancakes. He stated his pancakes were rubbery, but his omelet was good. This place is not very big and can feel quite cramped when full. There's not much room to stretch out, and when people are walking past it feels as if they are all up on you. The building was extremely cold, even with a jacket on. Very filling, and the prices are reasonable!

Great customer service and good ambiance…read more Blueberry cheesecake - so good! Save room for this! I liked that it wasn't overly dense. Pork osso bucco- highly recommend. We don't like goat cheese so they were able to sub out the goat cheese polenta with cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were so good!! Bistro steak - good but it's not a must have for me. It came with asparagus that was tasty and potato pave. The potato pave was crispy but soft on the inside. For an appetizer we had the Spätzle dish featuring Emmenthaler fondue, nutmeg, and gremolata. It's almost like a Mac and cheese. It had Microgreens and nuts in it. The combination worked so well. It was unique and delicious. A great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. They were very thoughtful!

I got an NA elderberry lemonade spritzer that was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the shrimp and grits (they were soooo good, buttery, rich, and flavorful) and a side of potato wedges to share. The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!
