    Dined here for the first time today after a run at Bellevue State Park. The breakfast was good and crispy. This place is great and the ambiance was pleasant. I think a lot of the 1 star reviews are from many years ago, today this place is definitely nice. I would certainly return.

    Monte Cristo Sandwich HORRIBLE!! I tried to eat it but I honestly couldn't due to it being so HORRIBLE.

    MONTE CRISTO IS HORRIBLE Please figure out how to make this before someone else makes the mistake of ordering. A Monte Cristo is deep fried....this was a open face French toast sandwich with cheese turkey and ham, no raspberry preserves. Which is supposed to accompany the sandwich along with powdered sugar. Either take this off the menu or call it what it is. A DISGRACE!!

    This is their veggie omelette. Dead on arrival. Completely bruised. More of a frittata than a fluffy omelette. Pretty bad.

    G O T O T H I S D I N E R! In town for my brothers 21st birthday. This is the best food in the entire world. It takes a minute for the food to come out but it's totally worth. The tables are clean and orderly not like a quick pass with a used rag. Actually thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. The silver is actually shiny, not like water spots or foggy and smudged. Bright inviting lighting evenly lit throughout. I highly recommend this place the food is amazing. It's not overly seasoned to make up for poor flavor or under seasoned all together. The staff is very friendly and it feels almost like you already know them. AND THE CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! If you have the choice choose this every time.

    Everyone kept talking about this place and how great the food was. I had to check it out…read more We didn't have to wait for a seat, we got a booth as soon as we entered. Our server was excellent. The food was delicious! My friend had the mushroom burger and I had the banana walnut pancake , potatoes, ,turkey sausages, and eggs. My food was enough that I had it for breakfast the next day! Place is nice and clean, it even has a bar for those who want to drink. Definitely returning!

    You want to move to the music curious where the DJ is as you enter a really fun dining area. You…read morereceive a warm welcome at the door and our server keeps a friendly banter going. Urban Kitchen can be described best as a diner for the 21st century offering a variety of tempting options. I went for the Friday classics of fish and chips that included a truly amazing cream of crab soup! The crab soup was oh so good and yes I found some shell but that was fine because this was real crab!! The delivery of my dinner made my. mouth water ... onon rings over French fries with perfectly beer battered cod that proved to me that the folks in the kitchen know what they're doing (flaky and moist cod yum). My dining partner had a cheeseburger, which in my opinion was ho hum compared to my dinner but she said it was really good. Oh, the coleslaw was top notch too. My only complaint... it was so filling I couldn't eat all those perfect French fries so they became part of the next day's breakfast! Was truly a great Friday dinner!!

    Room was a bit on the older side - door had to be slammed shut to close, the hinges in the bathroom…read morewere rusty making the door hard to close there, too, and the floorboards were falling apart at the bottom, but the room was otherwise clean and they managed to check us in early - props to Jesus at the front and getting us into a room. They have great cookies (with nuts so if you have allergies, ask for the nut-free allergy cookies separately). Towels a bit stiff, hard as with no dryer sheets and didn't soak up water very well. Faucet was almost falling off the wall, had to re-press it back in and it was almost coming off again. Water pressure was good, though. Couldn't get the hotel phone to dial the desk, so had to ask for new towels at the front. Parking was plentiful. They have a restaurant downstairs (does not come with a complimentary breakfast meal). Two towers for rooms so two separate elevator banks. One couch by the wall - very comfortable. The one in front of the TV - squashed down, you can feel the supports through the cushions so not comfortable to wait on. Service made up for the fact the hotel is on the older side, and AC worked overtime at night.

    They need to improve their enter site. The staff was not helpful or friendly upon arrival. They…read morewere more interested in their phones and each other than helping a guest who arrived late. Upon getting into my room, it was filthy in the bathroom and the desk and bed frame had oily fingerprints all over. It was like the staff didn't come to clean at all. The ventilation is terrible too, there is no bathroom vent or fan, so it was misty in the entire room and was musty upon arrival. There were stains and hair from a previous guest in the bathroom too. The breakfast experience wasn't great either. They left their food uncovered and open, so the flies had time to land and walk all over the food. The staff also adds extra tip if you don't fill it out yourself. I will not be coming back!

    I'm a sucker for a unique donut shop and this was such a good stop. (We were visiting Philadelphia…read moreand had our son with us who had not been to Delaware yet and wanted to get him into the state). The restaurant was not what I was expecting. I thought it was a little donut shop, but it was actually a full restaurant/bar. The restaurant didn't really seem to be open yet, but the donuts at back were fresh and coming out for the morning. There were so many options it was very hard to choose what to get. These donuts were special, in that they are brioche and very large and fluffy. We got an apple pie and strawberry cheesecake donut. We definitely didn't need two, but "when in Delaware" I guess? Haha! The woman at the counter was really helpful in our difficult decision and was very friendly and patient with us while we drooled over the donut menu haha!

    The menu looked promising, but we'll never know. Unfortunately, we arrived at our 3pm reservation…read more The hostess was rude and didn't greet us. We immediately felt like we were an inconvenience. After we were seated, the waitress brought out our drinks. 1 1/2 hours later, she comes back with the promise our food would be out soon, then, one minute, then oh yeah they are plating the food. Then we spotted our waitress and a few other servers vaping as the kitchen door opened. The manager was checked out as we were speaking with him. Needless to say the service was awful, so we left. As I said promising, but their staff and customer service is a complete turn off. Eat well folks! Ps. My daughter did a Yelp review right after we left but somehow it's been removed...
