Awful treatment of a service dog. Wasn’t sure if we’d be allowed in and were unwilling to sit outside in 90 degree sun. When explained that this was a service dog she said the area is small and we understand her worry completely, she gave...us dirty looks and attitude about it and then no actual answer if we would even be allowed to eat indoors. being that rude was uncalled for. Immediately felt unwelcome and did not want to give any money to this place. No rude words were exchanged, we didn’t treat anyone badly to be treated like we were a problem. Food might be great but being treated like that wasn’t worth waiting for food. Treating all service dogs like they’re fake is a terrible business practice. Costs nothing to be nice to people.More

We were greeted by the owner Wendy and had a very pleasant conversation about her recent noteriety. I had two eggs over medium(perfect!), bacon and sweet potatoes and my wife had two eggs over easy with hash and buiscuts. We shared a side of the...best pancakes ever with REAL Vermont maple syrup!

Both the omelette and the blueberry pancakes were very good. The only downfall is the thinly cut ham. You get two pieces but very thin, reminds you of packaged ham slices instead of serving one thicker slice of ham. Service is very good. Be prepared...to wait as it’s always busy. Indoor and outdoor dining.More

There were 5 of us and had a nice breakfast. Be aware that with groups of 5 or more they automatically add 18% gratuity. My husband didn’t notice it on original bill. When charge came through it asked for tip. Our waitress didn’t include original...bill with credit slip. If a member of our group hadn’t noticed i on original bill, there would have been a double tip.More

We were delighted to discover this charming, reasonably priced alternative for breakfast and lunch in town. Dining options indoors and (covered)out. Wonderful, thoughtful menu offers something for everyone.Service was pleasant and efficient. New to us, but this place has been a SRQ favorite for a...generation. Worth the wait.

Wendy (the owner) mixes her own recipes with those of her mom and grandmother for a delicious breakfast (or lunch). They have lots of gluten free options and are very accommodating in the kitchen if you have food allergies. All of the food was outstanding...and they have some unusual combos (eg caprese eggs Benedict with sun dried tomatoes). You’re gonna like this place. They have outside and indoor And they are so nice too!More

This place is GREAT. Sat outside, heard the inside is cramped. Everything I tried was delicious though. Pancakes were as good as advertised, ingredients were fresh, best breakfast I tried while in the Sarasota area. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the...menu.More

The breakfast is mediocre. I had the quiche with cheesy grits. The quiche was good! The grits were not good. We shared a side of pancakes. I like thin pancakes. These pancakes are thick and quite “cakey” so I didn’t love them. Overall, we probably...won’t be back. It’s not that good.More

We enjoyed our breakfast. I had the lavender stuffed ricotta blueberry pancakes - which were good. My husband had the hash and eggs. The hash was overcooked. Service was fine.

The first time it was just the two of us and it was good but not great. Same issues as this time. We figured we give it another try bc the food itself wasn’t terrible. It is cute inside with all the color themed tables....However the older woman greeting at the door has a bad attitude to everyone. Pushy and extremely dismissive. We tried to look past it and sat at our table and the waitress seems high on some sort of upper my guess. She was rushing the older woman out of her way as she was trying to get to other tables by motioning for her to move without verbally expressing. The waitress was then short and to the point. Coming from the medical field we would refer to this as no bedside manor not sure of the jargon for restaurant business. Just to have our food slammed on the table not in a rude way but in a rushed way; it was bland. Our 17 year old daughter who eats everything wouldn’t even eat the food.More

After dining here many times in the past, it was always something to look forward to with Its Key West charm. Tasty food and good service. Well, todays visit was disappointing. The restaurant looks tired and unkept. There are flys flying around ( maybe they...should think of a way to control this) painted walls have dirt on them and corners of floor filled with dirt. It needs fresh paint and a good spring cleaning both inside and out. The service, like a good deal of restaurants today, was spread thin. Food comes out cold and you feel bad sending back. It will be some time before I think of dining here, especially when there are so many cute cafes with ambiance as well as good food.More

We followed the recommendation of Discover Sarasota and it was a great suggestion. Really good sandwiches (Chicken salad was really good) and salads. Dani was a super server. One suggestion: upgrade and clean your rest room please. Go for the food!

They will take your name, #in party, and arrival time and that means a shorter wait. It's not a true reservation but when you've given advance notice they take that into consideration.
