If you order the pancakes, it's best to share them with a friend or come with a big appetite because they are fantastic! And don't miss the crème brûlée French toast! Mary is absolutely spot on!

It’s one of our favorite spots, especially during the tourist season when the traffic on Route 1 isn't as congested. Be sure to try the duck and the prime rib when it’s available from Thursday to Sunday; they’ll even customize your brunch omelet for you. In over seven years, I’ve never had a disappointing meal here.

I was served water right away and my server took my order after giving me some time to review the menu. After I ordered the baked brie as an appetizer and was brought , my wait time increased. I didn't have to wait long for my appetizer, but, my main course took a little while. I think I have been to so many restaurants where they keep checking on you, having an uninterrupted meal seams different. I had the Tournados Au Poivre, well done, with pesto pasta and green beans. It was good! Dessert was the seasonal special, pumpkin and sweet potato pastry with cinnamon and caramel drizzle with ice-cream, whipped cream and strawberries, with coffee. Very good ! I recommend this restaurant. Just be aware you may get sticker shock on prices, but, this is not a Applebee's: . I gave five s because a fellow patron began to choke on her food and the hostess performed the Heimlich and saved the woman's life. That is the first that has happened while I was eating. Great job ! The event happened and was over quickly. Wifi available.

I also enjoyed a fantastic BLT and the classic version of the drink, both of which were delightful. The pancakes are impressively large and made from scratch. I typically order just one along with the Irish Eggs Benedict, which comes with homemade, old-school corned beef, two perfectly poached eggs, and house-made English muffins. I would give that a solid 10/10, and the portions are generous. They also offer fresh, house-made pastries. I usually get the cinnamon rolls, which are available for purchase through the foliage if you order a day or two in advance. Overall, I can confidently say this is the best breakfast spot in town—no question about it. I can't wait to come back for dinner!
