| - Went with some neighbors the 2nd day it is open - they are still doing some set up (they were building chairs while we were there). On the plus side, we got to meet the owners (a couple) who are also opening up the Lodge on a cross corner from this place (which is in the Tempe Culinary Dropout/Yard complex, which is set to open July 1st and the wife is a hoot, it was so fun talking with here!
As for the space, wonderfully open with high ceilings and just a nice clean look. The wife told us that all the wait staff and cooks had already worked for several months at the Arcadia location so you can expect a smooth opening. For us, the coffee was great and they refilled it on a regular basis and the food came out quickly, which is always nice (but that may slow down a bit as this place packs up, but maybe not). I had the waffle and fried chicken (which is a flattened breast cutlet), which I thought was good, though I tend to like a thicker waffle (this one is pretty thin, though good). I would also say the price point is pretty good - my dish, with an additional egg and coffee was a bit over $13 with tax (not including tip).
Overall, good food, service is also good and nice location (full disclosure, I can walk to it, which I love), I'll definitely be back again.
