I was met by a server with a smile on her face whose focus was customer service. She seated me in a comfortable-enough booth, not too close to the kitchen (a pet peeve of mine is to be alone and seated in the worst spot...in a restaurant). The decor evokes rustic or farmhouse, but is inviting.
There was a lot of seating for parties of various sizes but the tables were spaced in a way that would accommodate a lot of patrons, without feeling tight.
The food was good, but on the expensive side. I ordered coffee, water, the Tri-fecta (eggs, choice of pancake or waffle, choice of meat) which came to $16.50 before tip. The server was friendly but for a mostly empty restaurant, it took her a bit longer than expected to provide water. The coffee came out hot, in a self-serve carafe, and was on the table before the jug of water. I couldn't find any sugar substitutes on the table, but I didn't ask for any so I don't know whether they were available.
The menu was focused mainly on breakfast food, as one would expect, with a variety of options. The food was good, but not outstanding. I like crisp bacon and this was just a bit less than "crispy," the belgian waffle was thinner than I was used to and the eggs were good. Nothing stood out as delicious. I paid at the register, not at the table.
To me, the cost was a bit pricey for the breakfast I received.
This is a restaurant where you can receive a solid, if a bit pricey, meal in a good location in Tampa.More
