    The pancakes were delicious! Kind of like a corn bread pancake hybrid, but still super fluffy. Made it a full breakfast by adding blueberries with the maple sausage and soft scramble eggs!

    We were disappointed with our visit. The service was lackluster — our waiter seemed more interested in chatting with coworkers than checking on guests. The food didn’t live up to the hype or the price. We came for brunch and tried the lemon blueberry roll, which was dry and unremarkable. The mushroom grits had maybe two mushrooms and lacked any cheesy flavor. I had the basic breakfast with extra cheddar hash browns — both were bland, and the hash browns were over-fried. The maple sausage patty tasted more like a hamburger. The only highlight was the Paloma, which was well-crafted and refreshing. Unfortunately, the overall experience felt like all hype and no substance.
