| - There was a new breakfast joint in town, and my husband and I are always down for a good breakfast place.
The service was really good. They really try to get everything right for you. The atmosphere was like an IHOP in terms of people felt comfortable to meet and talk loudly/converse normally. The decor is clean, modern and minimalistic, but it gives off this village Inn kind of feel with the color palette.
I had the Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict with hash browns. The hash browns had peppers, onions and bacon layered in the potatoes, and it was fried in a thin layer upon the plate with a dollop of sour cream. It reminded me of latkes in a way, which made me a bit nostalgic for Midwestern life. The crab was shredded and placed atop a perfectly toasted English muffin, a slice of tomato, a couple pieces of bacon, and an egg smothered with hollandaise. At times, the tomato can overpower the other layers of food, but the combination was very delightful. It was a good amount of food!
My husband had the German pancake for the first time with some strawberries and powdered sugar on top. Let me tell you, that thing was huge! My husband let me have a bite, and it was surprisingly light and airy compared to its look.
FYI...they have vanilla creamer for coffee! Yay!
Overall, I liked the food, but for some reason it did not knock my socks off as one of the best, go-to places for breakfast like Waffle Love (also in the area), T.C. Eggington (the 60/Alma School) or even Joe's Farmhouse Grill (also down the street).
Honestly, if it's right by you, it doesn't seem you can be disappointed by what they serve; it will satisfy the palate, your appetite and the wallet because it's reasonably priced.
