| - I like the environment of the place, such as their artwork and other aesthetics. It was a relaxed atmosphere you would think of for a casual brunch. This was a Sunday afternoon and the place was full but it wasn't crowded. This was my first time here.
The prices were slightly overpriced in my opinion, but this is very normal for the area in general in Charlotte. So, I suppose you can say it was averagely priced. I would guess that most of the entrees were right at $10.00. Not great, but not horrible. The menu was full of interesting styles of egg dishes, and various pancakes, toasts, and even some sandwiches and burgers.
I got the veggie burger and was pleasantly surprised. It was like a veggie burger/ black bean burger hybrid, with avocado, onion, and tomato. It was really good and this is why I am now a fan of this place. It's a gamble when ordering a veggie burger as many places just heat up something from a box like Morningstar Farms (which I like by the way, but preferably it's not what I want if I eat out). This veggie burger wasn't too messy and it wasn't a brick. It was perfect in my opinion. The homestyle potato chunks or whatever you call them also were very good and had a tasty seasoning that had me licking my lips. My friend got the veggie scrambled eggs (I don't remember exactly what it was called) and although I didn't try a bite, I will say that she enjoyed them and they looked awesome. If they can hold the mushrooms, it's near the top of my list of menu items to try next time I go, although the sweet potato pancakes also looked interesting.
All in all, I am a fan of the environment and food. That brings me to the staff. We entered and the hostess told us it would be a 15 minutes wait, but we only waited about 2 minutes. They address us by name after asking what they were which immediately gave me a good impression and a friendly vibe. The waiter was super nice and wasn't bothersome or neglectful. It did take slightly longer than usual to receive the food after it was ordered. I have noticed this has has been a common complaint on these reviews, so that tells me it's not unusual. Also, one lady at a table near me, when receiving her order, asked them if they had to kill the chicken. So if you are thinking of eating here, just know that it's good food but you may have to wait longer than expected. Personally, I can deal with it.
