Outstanding breakfast that was definitely worth the wait! Great Bloody Mary’s, fantastic Lemon Curd Blueberry French Toast, Bayside Egg Scramble, over medium eggs & sausage. Locally roasted coffee was terrific as was the friendly attentive service. Great start to the day!!

Had the lobster eggs Benedict and it was breathtaking. It was my first experience with Maine lobster and can safely say the hype surrounding it is completely valid. The service was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cute. Will definitely stop by again!

I had high hopes for this place but was disappointed in the slow service and lack of care and control of the establishment. It was small quarters in this location. And it was full of loud out of control screaming children. The people that came here had no regard for the other patrons that wanted to enjoy their meals. The staff was about 6 young girls who were not really doing much of anything. We waited over 30 mins to get our food and we saw other people that came in after us get their food first and leave before us. The food came out lukewarm like it was sitting there waiting for one of the girls to decide to pick it up and bring it to us only after I had to ask if we should leave. Regarding the food, the strawberries and cream French toast was great but came out lukewarm. The crab cake was not good too much dill was used I couldn’t eat it. And the lobster scramble ($30)was ok but over priced and not enough lobster compared to other places that are priced much better. This place is definitely charging way too much for their food. I have no problem paying for great food but this was not worth it unfortunately. The terrible customer service and loud atmosphere really ruined the meal for us.

Loved this place! Ordered the avocado toast which was incredible! However, in the description it said there was black truffle in the avocado mash, but I didn’t taste it at all which was a little disappointing. Still giving this place 5 stars for its great service, cozy atmosphere, and amazing food!
