I ordered the peach oven baked pancake and it was so good. I had no idea what to expect, but it was the restaurant's special, so I decided to try it. This pancake is more like a cake. It is very soft (lots of eggs were probably used), with pieces of peach inside. The cinnamon drizzle gave it more sweetness. The dish itself was sweet enough that it didn't need any additional syrup, although I did add on some whipped cream (also didn't need that). I was eating dessert for breakfast. And it was HUGE! I had a hard time finishing the entire pancake. My husband had the banana nut pancakes. I think there were 5 pancakes in the dish, with bananas, pecans, and chocolate chips inside and outside. My husband really enjoyed his dish too, although it was dried than my dish and did taste better with syrup.

Parking is street only so you might have to walk a little. We were greeted and seated right away. We were seated outside so it was really hot! Our iced water became just water in minutes. Food took about 25-30 mins to come out but it was worth the wait. It tasted marvelous! Must try! Scallop potatoes crispy well done is a must

They're definitely not a 3 star restaurant, but I can't give them a 4 star rating because well I didn't eat there. They stopped taking parties and hour before they closed today,and I'm not sure whether the closing time is just misleading or if maybe if there was a problem in the kitchen. But I can't givea place any more than 3 stars when they leave their guests hungry without explanation. I'll be happy to change it next time Istop by though
