    A great place to eat. The food is fresh from local farms and businesses. We ate breakfast and listened to a band practicing in their theater.
    Great prices to boot.  A must!

    This was my first time eating here.  Our table was facing the kitchen.   The kitchen was completely open to view.  I watched the cook play with his cell phone, grab something off the floor, lean his backside on the grill where they cooked our food and then use his bare hands to grab cheese, meat and bread.  The other cook microwaved my wrap and oh yeah, my mug had a lipstick print on it. I can't even rave about the food because it wasn't good and I was honestly grossed out.  I will never go back there and I think it's time for a health inspector visit.

    I love this place! The staff is so accommodating and friendly, I am sold forever. The food is ok to good. I always get bacon and eggs and pancakes because I cannot make pancakes.The live jazz is such a winner.

    Love this place for breakfast and the fact that it's a non-profit run with all proceeds benefiting the Arts makes it that much more appealing. Food is very good and love the ambiance of the place....

    Ok, this is not really a 5 star place, but for the price, it is a great deal! I had simple scrambled eggs bacon sausage and pancakes. The food was well prepared and quite tasty. The menu is limited, no eggs Benedict for example, but obviously includes the basics. They do have daily specials (banana chocolate chip pancakes and a very veggie scramble the day I was there) so there are unusual choices. The price is very good, my breakfast was $12 including potatoes, toast and coffee! They also serve lunch. Well worth returning too!
