The light did not work above our booth. It was very dark. Food arrived cold. Corn fritters were all batter and not much corn. Expensive for what it was. My friends bacon wasn't cooked and their food also arrived cold.

Have to ask twice for additional cutlery, not enough for everyone in container and when it was given, not what we needed. Knives instead of forks. Hard to get waitpersons attention to order additional drinks. Meal was good, a little expensive. But will come again.

Was a nice busy morning, had a table for 10 and the service and food was great. One friend was gf and they accidentally brought out the wrong bread with her meal but were quick to replace it with a new meal and offered a discount for the inconvenience. Would recommend the reviver smoothie!
