Stephanie KimApril 21, 2011Crab cakes with corn were excellent but skip the lasagna. The pasta dough is never cooked thoroughly so you end up eating gummy dough.
Francis UdlerMarch 9, 2014Good, you need to be in the mood for eggs. Wait is way too long, not sure if worth it.
Tom BurnsOctober 11, 2014Nice omelette, but a little overpriced and lacking in full breakfast options
Show up before noon for less of a wait. Try downstairs by the fire and bar...
Cassandra TomkinMarch 27, 2011Wonderful food - but I love this place for the relaxing and casual wine bar.
Richard BabeckMarch 24, 2012Cannot wrap my head Around the fact that they serve all their dishes cold yet presented in a "hot" plate.
Stephanie KleinJune 17, 2012Blueberry Pancakes! I loved when this place was also in the small town of Roslyn.
Sungwoo ParkSeptember 1, 2011One thing: don't take this place if you are in hurry. It doesn't match the quiet atmosphere and restaurant style
Giacinta PaceMay 1, 2010Go To Friend Of A Farmer and try the wheat and chicken sandwich. Coffee is great too! Hell, everything is great!
If you're looking for the hungry man breakfast, go for the Boomer Special!
Mark ForscherNovember 4, 2013Over-priced & disappointing. Waiters seemed overwhelmed, space upstairs was cramped & noisy, they "forgot" half our order, cocktails on the menu were the first I ever considered sending back. Skip it.
Chris BruceJuly 14, 2015Solid for brunch, though not worth the wait you have to sit through on the weekends. Dinner was very meh.
héloïseMay 2, 2014They were so confused about getting takeout. Don't recommend getting breakfast to go.
PaulJanuary 1, 2015Nothing out of the ordinary. If you're in the neighborhood then it's worth a visit.
