| - This restaurant definitely needs a second visit from me... I cannot say enough great things about the service. On the menu it says, Every Server is Your Server. Totally true. Super nice waitstff, bus staff, hosts ... and everyone is genuinely helpful and never looks put upon if you ask them a question as they walk by your table. We brought all four kiddos to breakfast so I was totally skeptical about the ability to leave unscathed - or at least not have patrons throwing things at us - but really the attentiveness of the waitstaff made this experience seamless.
For food, this is almost a 4 simply because their array of GLUTEN-FREE items is unsurpassed in Charlotte. When I quietly asked about gluten-free options, the waiter rattled off a variety of options with ease. I wanted to cry when they asked if I wanted white or multi-grain toast with my breakfast. Toast is not something I have EVER been offered at a restaurant. Toast has gluten-free pancakes - they were so good that I thought maybe they made a mistake and gave my daughter the regular ones. Nope. They're just legitimately delicious. My other daughter ordered gluten-free French Toast. Yes. French Toast. Gluten-free. Delicious.
As for the rest of the menu ... I ordered the southwest egg scramble off the specials - it was pretty good. What killed it for me was the cold hash browns piled on top. Had I opted to replace the hash browns with a side of fruit, my experience would have been totally different. The hashbrowns were simply large chunks of lightly seasoned potatoes. Even if they were hot, I doubt that I would have liked them. Thankfully, my 7 year old polished off his combo plate and gladly took my hash browns off my hands. Unfortunately, we also ordered a side of hash browns for the girls to share. Also very cold. Kind of a bummer.
At the end of the day, the service was amazing, the food was pretty good, the gluten-free options were astounding, and our bill was $68 ... but only because it was too early for me to order a bloody. We will definitely be back - and hopefully I can give it a fourth star. The place was absolutely hopping so it appears that this place has legions of dedicated fans. I would love to become one of them... I'll try again!
