My wife and I went there on March 9 (Sunday). We were seated at the table with the two big easy chairs which I thought was very unique and comfortable. The atmosphere was alive with conversation and it felt very 'homey' and we figured we were in for a big treat. Well the coffee was 'run of the mill' (nothing special) and it didn't get any better after the coffee. I had a veggie scramble which was pretty good and the toast was from homemade bread it was good too. The potatoes were stale and tasteless. My wife had the lemon-poppyseed pancakes and after we'd read (here) about their great pancakes she was dissappointed. The concept of lemon-poppyseed pancakes was a good one but they just missed the mark and the syrup was cheap (the kind you'd expect to see in a Denny's). \r

As a matter of fact there were a lot of Denny's-esque features; the butter came in those little sealed packages, the jams also came sealed. These are not necessaarily bad things but when you have to wait 20+ minutes for your breakfast and you are paying premium prices you expect something special. You don't expect bad coffee and cheap condiments and pancakes that weren't quite right.\r

Great concept but less than average food at premium prices with slow service doesn't make it a place we will ever go back too. Especially when the Maltby Cafe is close to here.
Pros: atmosphere
Cons: cheap condiments, average coffee, slow service, high prices
