“The customer service was excellent there was a mix up with the reservations. We went to a location that was not prepared for a party of 14. The manager paid the uber service to take us to the correction location. Once there the wait staff was excellent. Our main waiter was superb.”
“Beautiful place with a nice vibe. A place you can sit down and have a good chat with friends. I went with friends at work before heading over to Shen Yun at David Koch Theater. Overall, a great time with good food, nice friends and a great show!”
“ATMOSPHERE: I typically start my reviews mentioning the food because that’s obviously why you go to a restaurant but truly the atmosphere of this is incredible. think a high budget Cracker Barrel that feels truly homie and not kitschy at all. All of the decor was meticulously thought out. At the entrance are created with some soft atmosphere music and an adorable bar with a couple of high tops. As you enter this a private room on the side that can be made for a cozy intimate experience. As you walk toward the back of the restaurant he passed the kitchen with beautifully laid out dishes, cups plates, etc., and into the main dining space. The interior of the main dining room reminded me of a bed-and-breakfast that took place in the middle of nowhere a small town America. Beautiful sunroof, a fireplace and some elegantly hung woven bags, pots and pans. FOOD: I was able to enjoy breakfast in the meal. I had was delightful hidden open faced locks on toast, complete with cream cheese, red onions, and capers. I added a poached egg for an additional four dollars. My friend purchased a platter that contain Sweet n Savory sausages, eggs, and pancakes. She mentioned that she particularly likes to frequent this restaurant because they offer both sweet and savory in one dish. I love this experience so much that I cannot wait to come back again. This place is incredibly quaint with a really good food. Definitely worth another travel.”
“A bit pricier but worth every penny for healthy and unique fresh food options. The restaurant has a true farm to table feel, and the inside makes you feel like you are sitting in a cozy English cottage. The ambience and service were both fantastic. We loved everything we ordered, especially the shepherd’s pie. That was a total hit. The cornbread was also fantastic, and the quinoa salad was very fresh tasting. Definitely a great place if you are looking for a comforting and fresh dinner.”
“First off --being in a colonial inn like atmosphere for brunch without leaving NyC. How amazing. The Bloody Mary was amazing. The granola yogurt dish had melt in your mouth granola with a touch of cinnamon. So good. The pancakes were fluffy and light. With that salted butter and syrup premixed combo served to me --I was in heaven. I didn't have to struggle with frozen pats of butter so many places annoy me with. And the eggs are flavorful. Ask for some hot sauce to put on top and just yummy! And you must have the cinnamon roll if they have it. Enough said. On a cool fangirl note --we got to meet one of the family members who was patiently walking around the diners multiple times throughout our time at the table. I loved the attention that the staff gave while walking around making sure none of the patrons were waiting during brunch. Thanks Wes for chatting with us! You've doing your family proud!”
