Our fabulous server Clementine was there--we remembered her from last year. This is I think our third or fourth time here in as many years. An order of beignets started us off. These are square and no-kidding as big as my hand. Each. Four of them. Yeah, beignets are mostly air but one order was plenty for the two of us. I ordered the Eggs Pontchartrain---pan-fried trout filet, poached eggs, smothered in sauce bearnaise. I ordered the side of grits, plain, though I've also had their cheese grits. Both are stellar. Fabulous breakfast plate! Wife N went with the classic Benedict, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, plain grits on the side. Delicious as always. Coffee is dark and fabulous. Side biscuit was super-fluffy and the housemade strawberry rhubarb jam hit the spot. Fabulous as always, see you again next year!

The food was fantastic, with that kind of quality and consistency you only get from a long-standing local favorite.

I'll definitely be back--and I'm already looking forward to trying their lunch next time.

We stopped in around…read more1:00 on a Sunday....definitely less crowded than our first visit here more than four years earlier. We were seated quickly, and service was prompt and friendly. While interested in the tuna sandwich, I was really hungry, so I got an omelette instead. As it turns out, judging by the size of my wife's chicken salad sandwich and fries, the tuna likely would've been plenty for me, and I'll try it on a future visit. My omelette (with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and onions) was fine, but nothing unusual from an omelette you'd get elsewhere. Home fries and ciabatta toast were both really good too. Coffee was delicious. Speaking of the chicken salad sandwich, my wife enjoyed it on her first visit too and was equally impressed this time. Definitely a big sandwich. I'm sure she'll get it again.

We travel to FoCo for a change of scenery every couple of months. This was a new spot for us…read more We had to wait over 20 minutes to get a seat, but knew that when we put our name on the list. Thankfully, it was a beautiful February day, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine while we waited. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's a little bit noisy. But the wallpaper is really beautiful and it fits the theme very well. Some of the things highlighted in other reviews include homemade bread and homemade hot sauce. I'm not a hot sauce eater, so I can't weigh in on that. The fresh bread was pretty awesome. The fresh jam was Cherry vanilla, which neither of us liked very much. It tasted too much like pie filling, and the texture was off. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak immensely. My breakfast, which included a large pancake, an egg and a link of sausage was priced at $10 which was an amazing price. Both of us went home with leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive. She may have had a bit too much energy if I'm being honest, but I'd rather that than someone who is lackluster and boring!

It's probably a convenient place to stop for coffee or a light lunch if you happen to work in the area and can walk over, but it has always seemed like a bit of a hassle to find parking just for the purpose of coming here. I was able to stop by after the No Kings march a few weekends ago. After perusing the menu I just wasn't feeling any of the lunch options, so I ended up getting a golden milk smoothie. It was good, but I'm not sure it was spectacular enough to justify the price. Maybe I just had a "too peopley" morning - perhaps I'll come back and give their sandwiches a try when I am in a better mood. Although it is small, it has some outdoors tables and would be a good place to people watch.

I've been to Rainbow several times and I struggle to finish my meal every time. There's something…read moreabout the food that's not satisfying to me. I end up leaving about half of my meal or have to force myself to finish. I've really tried to love it since Rainbow always has rave reviews, but it's just not for me. I've visited to try out their vegan/vegetarian options when I'm in the mood to eat something lighter or focus on plant-based meals since they're known for their accommodating menu. I've tried the falafel wrap, the scrambled tofu, and the vegan breakfast burrito. I've also tried their golden milk latte. I love turmeric/golden milk lattes so I was excited to try it here. It was okay, but a little too grainy for my taste. The service is fine, but nothing stands out about it. You arrive, place your order, and they'll deliver to your table or give you a buzzer so you can pick up. The restaurant itself is charming, bright, and clean. It has a really great vibe. The best part is the popular patio area especially on beautiful, sunny days. Rainbow is a good restaurant, just not for me.

There's plenty of seating available including outdoor seating which was nice. The service was good. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Rated this place a 3 because of the food. We ordered the Undecided Benedict which includes two poached eggs, one with smoked ham and classic hollandaise, and the other egg with house made sausage gravy; Both eggs served on a toasted English muffin with Rise potato (hash browns served like a muffin) The Rise potato was burnt all around the sides and the top so really only the middle part was edible. The Benedicts were mediocre so nothing really stood out about that dish. We also got the Rajas and Eggs which is Rajas (spicy blend of roasted poblanos, redskin potatoes, onions, seasoning), two scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, roasted red pepper coulis, corn tortillas. I had high hopes for the Rajas and Eggs with the mention of spices, veggies, seasonings. Overall, I wouldn't order this dish again. I ended up leaving half of my breakfast because it wasn't appetizing to me. Maybe it's lacking a different texture? Seems like it's all the same with the scrambled eggs, the rajas, and the red pepper coulis.
