What to Order
Yukon Gold Potato Gratin with Maple Cured Pork Loin and Soft Poached Eggs
A rich and savory brunch dish featuring tender potatoes, sweet and salty pork loin, and perfectly poached eggs.
"The potatoes were perfectly tender and rich without being heavy, the maple cured pork loin had that beautiful balance of sweet and savory, and the soft poached eggs tied everything together with that silky, golden goodness."
Illya Kalyna
Croque Madame
A classic French sandwich, grilled and topped with cheese, ham, and a fried egg.
"I came here for breakfast and the Croque Madame here is pretty spectacular."
Mike Bridge
French Toast
Sweet and fluffy French toast, often served with a delightful rhubarb jam.
"Also, the orange juice was lovely, the Americano was perfectly made (most places make an Americano that tastes like bad drip coffee) and the French toast was incredible, as others have mentioned."
Stephen Johnson
Croissant
A flaky, buttery pastry that transports you straight to a Parisian bistro.
"For dessert or breakfast a croissant and cafe au lait brings you to a Parisian bistro."
