They also have a decent selection. For dinner I got the Rigatoni Pork Ragu and my brother got the burger. Both were excellent. My Ragu had a bit of a kick, but I enhanced it with some Tabasco. Service was very attentive and our server was fun and pleasant. Seating for the restaurant is a bit out in the open, but not too distracting.

Their espresso is okay, I don't know if it's just my preferences but it tasted a little over roasted to me but I still enjoyed it. My big draw here though is I love the ambience and location. I really like being able to sit at the big Windows looking out at the Mississippi River. I like their location because as a study break or if you want to get out after the Riverwalk is right outside so it's easy to hop on that for a run or walk directly afterward(you also are within 2 to 3 miles of the bridge connecting Moline and bettendorf as well as the bridge to Sylvan Island which are fun places to get out to.

The service was excellent & it was super early in the morning so it wasn't crowded. The ambiance is spacious and you definitely can come in with a big crowd. I can't wait to go back.

Pretty sure this is a family operation... you can feel it. Both times I ordered the special Monte Cristo. Stacked with ham and Swiss and soft fluffy French toast. It was piping hot!

Husband ordered a Denver omelet and a half order of biscuits and gravy. All had steam wafting off the plate and lovingly made. We have decided it will be a mandatory stop when we return to town.

I want to keep my favorite spot a secret but this place is incredibly good…read more They serve breakfast all day Very decent wine menu Food is consistenly (really) good, arrives fast and hot. If service is a bit slow, give them a break, place is often crowded with tables constantly turning, but they never rush you. When weather permits, there's a nice patio. I keep reading "friendly service". I'd say actually it's a bit brusque. It's midwestern friendly, the blank face kind that's waiting to make sure you're not a jerk, or let you know they don't put up with them. But the service is excellent They should give up the counter seating for customers and call it "kitchen view" imho ha I don't want to say this for fear they raise prices, but very affordable. Tip them well. I've gone all around the menu and the only items I personally don't return to are the flatbreads, just not my thing. I opt instead for their sandwiches, salmon tacos, breakfast items, soups. It's all very good. Thanks, Brew!

This location can feel a little tight when it comes to seating, but it's well taken care of and clean. That being said, the customer service could be better. There have been a few times where we've customized our order and it wasn't done correctly, even after clarifying. One time we sent a meal back and the remake still wasn't right, which was frustrating. I think if they improved their attention to detail and service, it would really elevate the overall experience.

It's clean and a little noisy, but on par with most breakfast spots. Service was good and friendly, but what I was most impressed by was the food came out fairly quickly and really hot.

My wife had a half order of biscuits and gravy with an egg, which she loved. My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, which he devoured. Prices were reasonable.

Heaping is not what I would label the meat portioning. Pickles tasted very old and the onions were not the red onions they were white onions. Would not recommend at this price point. At this price point the food needs to be on point. It looked like the entire staff with the exception of the bartender was under 21. Not that this necessarily matters as many younger folks can cook. This was not that crowd of under 21's.
