A case of the cover not matching the book.
This place had been on my list for some time, so I decided to give it a try one weekend for breakfast.
While the interior is very nice, the service and the food lacks the sparkle.
Considering the price, my steak and eggs were rather average – the eggs were plain, the steak was chewy, and the potatoes were overcooked.
I'm afraid I won't be returning anytime soon.


Great breakfast spot! Food was fantastic, service was excellent and the staff were great.
Great ambience.
Alex the host went out of his way to get my 5 year old paper, pen and some stickers to entertain her.
Highly recommend.


This is a cute breakfast place. The chicken and waffles were good and I thoroughly enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was well brewed and the wait staff was quick and attentive. If you are in the UPenn area, you can't go wrong with this place.
