I visited this restaurant with two friends for breakfast recently, and I have to say, it is probably the best breakfast I have ever had out in a restaurant!

The restaurant is in the building that used to be a dive cafe that served italian food I think. However, the place is not a dive anymore! When you walk in, you enter a simplistic, french country style of decoration. Its a very calming a relaxing place to be!

The french country theme continues on to the food as well. The menu takes breakfast basics and puts a french twist on them that makes them all the better for it. In addition to the menu, there is a daily frittata on the menu as well. My friend had it that day and said it was excellent.

Our meal began with excellent coffee and free samples of banana and a chocolate chip bread while were waiting. The breads were moist, sweet and delicious. It was a nice surprise!

I had the brioche french toast, foster style. This is bananas foster french toast! Omigod it was the most wonderful thing EVAR! Go here NOW and get some. I also had the nitrate free bacon with my toast, and it was wonderful. Few restaurants are able to serve thick cut bacon that is also crisp without being burned. I was very impressed!

The service was really good as well. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. She was also always available when we needed her or a refill of coffee, without being overbearing. They also didn't try to rush us. I appreciate this in a restaurant.

Overall, my experience here was wonderful, and I plan to return many times!
