First I’d like to say, their reservation system is great. You can basically get into a queue ahead of time to make sure you get a spot as they do not take reservations. The staff were very friendly and the spot itself is pretty interesting looking. There is a lot to look at when you walk in. The food itself was very good. They also had many options to pick from. The main issue is with allergies. First, they are very knowledgeable about what is safe and what is not safe. The issue is we he ordered a breakfast meal that indicated it could be made gluten free. The waiter had stated the hash browns were not in fact gluten free so we were offered a fruit cup. The fruit cup was bland and most likely not fresh. Not the end of the world, however we were charged an extra fee for the substitution which the waiter did not mention. So, the item should not be labeled gluten free or the up-charge should be mentioned beforehand. Or, the up charge should be fully removed if the item is gluten free. This spot is definitely worth going to but I will not be returning any time soon.

Super fun place that I went out of my way to try, as they offer gluten free pancakes. Unfortunately, mine was dry and probably overcooked. The flavor was great though. My friend loved her juevos rancheros and the sweet potato hash was delicious. Our waitress was great and the place was clean.
