    I've been meaning to try this place for awhile. It is small inside. They cook to order so it is served fresh & hot. The star is the coconut crusted French toast - which fits with the Hawaiian theme. Servers were friendly. Prices were reasonable. I will have to come back and try the lunch menu

    A very unstuffed omelette that left me unimpressed.

    Sunday morning and this place is 95% full. Its seat yourself and I was able to score a booth by the window. The restaurant has about 10 booths and some long tables in the center. The beachy motif is on the walls and it gives off very good vibes. The staff is super friendly and as soon as I sat a young lady appeared to take my drink and food order. I ordered the make your own omelette, ham and cheese and I asked for triple cheese, with an everything bagel and some potatoes. I absolutely did not get triple cheese. In fact, I don't think there was even extra cheese at all, even though I was charged for it. I've eaten enough omelettes with extra cheese to know what extra cheese looks like, and that most certainly was not one of them. It was a very small layer of cheese with some ham inside of it. Nothing to write home about. I like an omlette that's fat and full of stuff and this just wasn't it. The home fries were good and everything bagel was actually the best thing on the plate. As I said the servers there are quite friendly, but a friendly server doesn't make up for a lackluster food order.

    Great place. These people don't play with their dish portions. Make sure you come hungry. Each plate can serve two people, easily. The service was good and the place was homey and down to earth. No TVs, no fluff, just some good ol home cooked food. They literally have big momma in the kitchen cooking up some home-cooked-goodness. And if you get anything with jalapeños, or add jalapeños to your dish, get ready, cuz they're not bashful about adding jalapeños. In other words, if you come here with a cold or flu, and you get something with jalapeños, my friend, you will be relieved of your sickness. But don't come out of your house if you're sick, please! ;) The place holds about 50 people max and it can prob hold one small group of people so think about that before heading over. Oh yeah, and the booth, they're very quaint and small so don't be scared to rub shoulders if you bring a party of four.

    This place is such a cute tasty breakfast spot. I went with my mom for breakfast and decided to try it, they were pretty busy and I did't have an issue with waiting. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and delicious. So was the Eggs Benedict and French toast, and the home fries were so good and crispy. I definitely recommend.

    We had a good brunch/lunch here. The small restaurant is a southern style/old-fashioned type diner. The staff is friendly and helpful. The menu is breakfast all day with some added lunch specials. The prices are reasonable with large portions. My husband had their "old Florida" breakfast. His choice of eggs were basted, along with crisp bacon, a biscuit with gravy, and his choice of grits plus french toast. He said everything was perfectly cooked. I had a lunch item -- avocado stuffed with chicken salad. The chicken was stuffed into the shell of a half avocado and the avocado slices were served separately. The chicken salad was tasty with the addition of celery and slightly sweet with dried cranberries. There were crackers, as well. I chose fruit salad as my side. It was a large portion of fresh cut melons (I requested no pineapple), strawberries and grapes. There's a lot more on their menu that I'd like to try in the future -- plus they have blackboard specials. I'm so glad we found this place -- thanks fellow yelpers! This one is a keeper.

    Nestled in a small strip center this place turns out some huge breakfast offerings and sandwiches! I chose the Old Florida Sampler breakfast which came with two thick half slices of fluffy french toast, two strips of bacon, one sausage link, two eggs (any style), I chose basted and another side (I chose grits). Everything was cooked perfectly! Service is fast and friendly and we never felt rushed. Tables were cleaned as soon as patrons left and more entered to enjoy their meals. This is definitely the place to come for home cooked meals!

    How did I never know that this is the sister location to Kona Bay Cafe in Lantana? Same menu and the food is just as good. Service was really slow but then, they were busy and the service was not bad. We ordered iced coffee and boy is it good coffee. Served in a big glass so we did not need a refill. I ordered two eggs scrambled with a side of fresh fruit and rye toast. The toast was buttery and room temp but melted. The eggs were soft scrambled like I ordered. The fruit was fresh and a good variety. My husband ordered cornbeef hash and he loved it. His toast was missing upon delivery but it was brought out quickly once he said something to our server. We also ordered a side of veggie sausage and the flavor was perfect but they were pretty oily. We did not sit long as there were people waiting on tables. We will definitely return because parking was good and free too.

    To sum up my visit into one word... repulsive. Would never suggest to come here. I regret my visit entirely. Food took forever and the waitress was rude. I would give it zero stars if I could. I'm only writing a review to save another individual from coming to this dump. I got a breakfast sampler because I wanted some bacon and sausage. My bacon was completely shriveled up and was about 1 piece and a half. My sausage was questionable. My scrambled eggs tasted like plastic. My biscuit and gravity was flavorless and disgusting. My meal included a side of toast... I never got it. Waste of calories. Waste of money. Waste of time. My sister got a waffle with strawberries and nutella. Her waffle had a hair in it. Her strawberries on top were soggy and mushy. And to round it off, there was no Nutella on her waffle when they brought it out. Another item forgotten but still charged the full price. Restaurant is dirty. Floor covered in crumbs. Menus are greasy. Cups are dirty. Whole place is an overpriced dirt hole. My sister's arm was sticking to the wall as she sat on the inside of the booth. Ceiling tiles are discolored and look like they're minutes away from dropping down. I feel nauseous just thinking about the place.

    Coconut Macadamia French Toast was delicious

The vegetables sandwich that I ordered had so much oil but fortunately the bread soaked up some of it, so I just discarded the bread. My wife's salad with fish was very good. Also, the fruit served with my sandwich? Just perfectly ripe and enjoyable. One of the things that cracked me up here, being a laid back Texas boy, was over hearing all the incessant, noisy, nasal New York Jewish ladies whining, commiserating and ruminating with each other at the other tables. That was entertaining. I had thought about asking about the homemade desserts but the staff was slammed I guess cause no one came around to check on how things were going and if we needed anything else. Just as well. Counting calories. My tipping default would normally be 20% but today... not sure what I will leave lol.

A great value (before 11:30 weekdays) is the $8.95 egg breakfast which includes eggs your way, toast, potatoes and fruit. The service is pleasant but can be a bit slow if you sit outside which works out fine if you're looking for a leisurely meal. Approachable menu, something for everyone. Ample indoor and outdoor seating is available.

The lobster appetizer was phenomenal. The chicken oysters, I personally don't see the hype there but the potato served with them is both the crispiest and the softest potato I've ever eaten. The short rib entree with mole sauce was as tender and flavorful as can be. The local jerk swordfish was cooked perfectly and everything on that plate together created wonderful bites. Cornbread dessert was my choice, I love cornbread and that hit the mark with the blueberry compote and ice cream. One nitpick, and this is absolutely a nitpick. The string lights that hang down the wall to the tables are filthy. So dirty they looked like twine rope. Now that didn't change my experience or make me question the cleanliness of the kitchen at all. That food was perfect. And I wouldn't lower my rating .1 because of it I would go back to driftwood more frequently if my schedule fit their hours better, this place is top notch.

We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Steak Tartare, served with beer-battered smoked onion petals, truffle, egg yolk, and manchego. It was excellent and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the Za'atar Roasted Local Vegetables with spicy greens, feta tzatziki, lime pickles, and pepitas. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite dish. For our entrées, one person ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with pork and beef ragu, housemade raw milk ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Jerk Local Swordfish from Fort Lauderdale with braised Swiss chard, local radish escovitch, and jackfruit miso beurre blanc. While the swordfish itself was cooked well, I wasn't a fan of the jerk seasoning. The flounder, however, was outstanding and probably my favorite entrée. To drink, I had the Les Fumées Blanches Orange Sauvignon Blanc, which I really enjoyed. Someone else had an Old Fashioned. For dessert, we shared the Affogato with mascarpone ice cream, dark chocolate, and espresso, and it was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated being able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. It is on the pricey side, but that's fairly typical for a farm-to-table restaurant using quality ingredients. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to grab a spot. Overall, it's a fun place for a date night or a nice dinner with family. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Or if you want, they have a great bar and you can hang out there and have a bite.
