Consistently good food with nice variety. Attentive service in a comfortable setting. I like the seasonal drinks and evolving menu.
We had a great brunch/breakfast on Easter Sunday! We were seated immediately and had a great waitress (though she did not bring the juice I ordered so I canceled the order. She brought me a "sample" anyway and did not charge me.) I had the "Spring" special: egg white omelet with feta & asparagus and fabulous whole wheat toast. Coffee was delicious and I appreciated the variety of creamers and a pot on the table. I did not eat the "greens" as the side dish & was told that some people "sub" them out for something more in-line with breakfast items, i.e. fresh fruit, etc. Hubby had the pancake: liked it very much. I liked the featured fresh fruit drinks. We really had an enjoyable experience.
The first pumpkin flavor waffle I have ever heard/tried. The waffle was very fluffy and tasted really good.
A nice little sit-down eatery. I've wanted to try this place for a while and for some reason I thought it was more fast food than diner. I was pleased to find it's much like a Perkin's or iHop with a little less of a menu. I opted for breakfast for lunch and was able to easily accommodate my low carb dietary restrictions with no fuss. I had the Vera Cruz Chicken and Avocado Omelette - an egg white omelette with grilled chicken, fresh tomatoes, onions and roasted green chilies topped with Jack and Cheddar cheeses and fresh avocado. I liked that the accompanying fruit was more than just some melons, it included slices of apples, grapes, berries and melon and I was allowed to sub green chili for the English muffin. I asked for a small portion so there was also no additional charge, which I really appreciated. I hate being penalized for trying to be healthy! The environment was cheery, clean, the service prompt and cheerful. It's located across the street from where I work and I'm sure I'll return many times. Extra points to the Egg & I for the awesome interactive nutritional menu. Not only does it provide calories for meals but also calories if you add or delete items! Much appreciated!
Great breakfast spot. Had the classic eggs Benedict and they were terrific. It was very busy when we got there, but the wait was not long at all. Would definitely go back.
