The salad was very good. Chicken on it was very juicy and tender. You order at the counter once you walk in and pay. The waitress serves the food to the table your at. Nice and clean inside and a nice patio if you want to have your meal outside. Would definitely go back. Oh, and the food is all organic which is a plus!

I absolutely loved this place. It has the feel of a quiet cafe. The person taking the order was nice, respectful, and knowledgeable but not too chatty. I ordered the bowl of clam chowder. It's to die for, and the spicy shrimp dish was delicious. Big portions. It was simply too overpriced for soup and an entree. If I had ordered a salad, it would've cost 80 something dollars. It was 66.00 for 2 people we got bowls of soup and the same spicy shrimp dish. Last time a go. But the clam chowder and biscuit that comes with it is delicious

Mitch the manager is always so pleasant and full of energy. Jay one of the server, serves you like you are in a 3 star Michelin rated restaurant! The food and menu is fantastic, everything here is on par to a “from a scratch to table kitchen” it’s very good and you can taste the quality of their ingredients.

A clean quiet place to get a nice lunch. The food quality is very surprisingly good. Very tasty. Great service, especially jay. Only reason for 4 stars is prices just a little high. But once again service and food quality very high.

This is a cool cafe to take a break or a sip. Cindy was very welcoming and helpful. She was kind enough to answer my questions about beer, gave breads for my baby, and also let her taste some chocolates. I like the fact the items are well priced (and not over priced) as well they have the good variety. They have nice comfortable indoor seating as well as outdoor seating.
