Reviews
"Excellent food! Fresh homemade bread and cheese platter to die for!! Generous portion too! Definitely go back there!"
"Genuinely one of the worst restaurants experiences I’ve ever had. Called to book in and said they were busy at that time and pushed us earlier. We go in and the place was empty the entire time. Food was completely overpriced, almost 50 dollars for the seafood “spaghetti” which ended up being 2 minute noodles and the worst seafood I’ve ever eaten. We also ordered a pizza that was also extremely overpriced for what you got, the quality was extremely poor and could definitely make a better pizza at home, will save you 10 times the amount of money and trouble. Do not recommend this place to anyone and definitely not recommended for any couples that are trying to find a nice restaurant to dine in."
"Rude service and overprized food. Got our order wrong and put it back on us rather than correcting the mistake. The half-size breakfast options are a complete rip off and $10 for a mediocre coffee is absolutely ridiculous. Definitely won't come back."
"Making the most of a gloomy day in Ocean Grove I had hoped for a more pleasant experience. Atmosphere is great and open, the service was good but once seated difficult to regain staff attention though not that busy. Food & coffee was quite disappointing, egg whites we're almost liquid "different poaching style" I do not recommend. Bread is baked in house which is a great touch, it's very good! Overall, as locals we will return but won't be ordering anything containing eggs."
"Amazing food. Been enjoying brunch here for awhile now but ended up having a very late dinner. Kitchen was closing but they accommodated us last min and food was beautiful."
