Traffic was…read morerobust this day but fortunately we found an open spot on Wilcox St a mere steps away from the front door of Castle Cafe. They were busy with the brunch crowd but we were seated within a few minutes and our server dropped off a basket of warm rolls while we browsed the menu. The interior was very cool, lot of wood and giving off a nice western vibe. I did love all the western art on the walls and a nice bar near the entrance. My wife ordered a Reuben sandwich which she very much enjoyed. Since their Pan-Fried Chicken was named "Famous" I just had to order that. Four delicious pieces of perfectly fried chicken and the mashed potatoes with cracklin' gravy was amazing. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Everyone was so nice and it was a wonderful experience. Side Note - My wife did ask me why I did not order the Chicken and Waffles as it appeared almost every other table had an order. While I love a good waffle, I need to have good cup of coffee with it and seeing how it was almost noon I had left my personal coffee window.

My other cousin got the avocado toast and she said it was the best she's had. Everything was fresh and delicious. I hope to be back soon to try more items from the menu.

We stopped in for brunch and everything we ordered was really good, but the Breakfast Hangover Burger completely stole the show for me. A burger topped with smoked ham, an over easy egg, avocado, American cheese, jalapeños, fried onion straws, and sriracha aioli sounds like someone lost a bet and just kept adding ingredients. Somehow it all works perfectly. We also ordered the Monte Cristo, which was crispy, cheesy, and exactly what I want when I order a Monte Cristo. Another highlight weee the donuts. Fresh, hot, and perfect for sharing. The service was great, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip.

We came here for Mother's Day brunch. We had a reservation but not sure we needed one. The place…read morewas more full by the time we left. As I have the past several times here, I went with the egg and carnitas tacos. I added a side of fresh fruit...both the eggs and fruit were very good. As the Benedict my wife loved is no longer on the menu, she had the avocado toast with eggs. She added a large size of the breakfast potatoes and was glad she did. While she liked the taste of the avocado toast, she was very disappointed in the small size of the portion. She wish she had more. One daughter had the Mardi Gras omelette for the first time. While she liked the flavor, the fact that the ham was a full slice (lunchmeat style), as opposed to chunks or cubes, was weird...and required cutting with a knife. The other daughter tried the quiche for the first time and loved it. It is one of the better quiches around. Coffee is very good as well. Service was fine for the most part.

He came over and was telling us how he makes the sauces himself. He also went into some detail about smoking peppers etc. I was intrigued. I think I had tried one before on a skillet. He said he would bring them to our table to try. He did bring them over as he promised so I tried them one at a time with my fries. All 3 were really good. I broke a sweat, so they past that test. I ended up buying the 3 pack, much better price than the individual prices per bottle. This morning I made myself a ham, egg and refried bean breakfast burrito to try them on. Oh man, so good. I expect I will need to keep some on hand at all times.

Breakfast for lunch? Yes, please! I like that Rory's promotes itself as a classic diner, however…read morethe breakfast menu is a step above classic. It took an extra moment before I was greeted but thereafter, the service was on par. Since breakfast is served all day, I went with the Cinnamon Apple French Toast, sans whipped cream. Today, it was made with fresh sourdough, dipped in a cinnamon vanilla custard. The vanilla is slight in flavor and the cinnamon is more noticeable in the apple compote.....which is IMHO the best part of the entree. The entree was a good portion without needing extra sides (but don't hold back if you are famished). The seating area was clean and the diner overall was nicely decorated...not overly cluttered like most diners. The tables are closely placed and best for solo, duo, or family dining. Groups might be hard to squeak in. Grateful I was finally able to make a visit.

While we made a…read morereservation for inside, they were able to switch us to a table on the patio since it was a beautiful night. My wife and I each started with a glass of wine, and then even though we hadn't planned to get an appetizer, we decided to order a side of bread with oil. The bread was amazing! It was a large order, and both the consistency and flavor were fantastic. There were a few different dishes I was considering, including the halibut, but since this was our first visit, I decided to go with the chicken Marsala, which many on here have raved about. First, it was a big portion with two large chicken breasts. On a future visit, my wife and I could split an appetizer or salad and then one order of the chicken. Next, flavor of everything was wonderful. Unlike a typical Marsala, which can be very heavy and overpowering, this sauce was lighter...in color, consistency, and taste. It was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Asparagus and potatoes were delicious too. My wife got the ravioli with pesto, and she really enjoyed her dish as well. Service was warm, pleasant, there when we needed it, but not overpowering, exactly what you'd hope for and expect from a restaurant of this stature. Very happy we finally got here. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

Being Italian, I rarely get excited about eating out at an Italian restaurant but this one was…read moreexceptional. I don't know where "reviewer" Keven went four months ago, but both interior & exterior looked brand new, so his references about shabby furniture are confounding. What he described simply didn't exist. The waitstaff was attentive and polite, and each course arrived within a reasonable time. As for the food, it was excellent. We had an appetizer of baked Brie and prosciutto, that was served with a spicy peach reduction meant to be spread on the toast quarters that accompanied the dish. The pastas were all fresh and prepared al dente, which is the correct way to prepare pasta, and there were a variety of sauces available for those who might want to change up the menu selections. I have absolutely no idea what these folks were talking about when they mentioned specifics available on the menu that they found wanting. Reading their criticisms, It was like they went to a different establishment. Whatever the disconnect, there is no question that Danielle's is a cut above most restaurants and well worth the extra price. If one wants food that tastes like the old country, then one has to pay a bit more for the experience when here in the US.
