Can't lie, this is one of my favorite restaurants! The layout/design is simple, the food is simple and the drinks are pretty simple. All the simpleness equates to greatness for me though lol. Love the staff and I have a great experience every time. I usually go with a Kale Caesar Salad w/ Salmon and Truffle Fries. I also love the Kimchi Patatas Bravas and Waffle and Berries.

Good job Babo! Great service - Tina was our waiter. The challah french toast is AMAZING! You don't need syrup - it's that good. I also recommend the Diego bowl. Food was fresh and came out fast. I would recommend and will be back!

Breakfast was delicious! Breakfast/Brunch is my favorite food ever! We enjoyed our meal today; I ordered the mushroom omelette with sourdough bread, side of sausage and churros. My girls both ordered the breakfast smash. We all enjoyed our food immensely. Full of flavor and delicious. The mimosas were good too, perfect ratio of alcohol to juice. The elder vice was good, not very helpful as she hadn't tried a few things we asked about. Also they don't serve single plain pancakes. That should definitely be a side. I wanted to order a pancake to taste and I love pancakes and she stated they only serve blueberry ricotta ones. Side pancakes go well as an extra side, for children and just yummy goodness! The ambiance was cool an ecletic collection of things. I hope to return soon!

Woke up and wanted breakfast. Found this place and walked in. It's a speakeasy vibe and plenty of seats. Oh we walked in...got lucky and got a table...make sure you make a reservation before coming here. They told us we had 45-50 minutes to eat and were kicking you out....in a good way...I think they have a reservation for this table coming up behind us. So we were greeted and taken to our table. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles w/ Orange Juice....and Strawberries on the side. Chicken and Waffles were good....Chicken was hot and flavorful. Orange Juice was good too. I also heard the French Toast was good too. If you're in Detroit definitely swing by and check this place out.

Great place for a hearty healthy breakfast before hitting up the DIA. Just around the corner from the gallery is this hidden Gem. We had breakfast and could t have been happier we chose this place. The service was quick, they seated us without a reservation but it might be recommended to not be disappointed. We both ordered the Eggs Benny, it had sweet bacon and avocado slices with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. It was so good! It didn't stand a chance. The place itself is very charming, great music and good looking people.

Visited my bff who's stationed in Detroit. We were so hungry so we stopped by here on the way to her home from the airport. We didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. Place is small but cozy and cute. They have great brunch menu and some Asian fusion dish. I tried hot Korean style wings and they were crispy and good. The sub that we ordered was on point too.

Had a party of 2 with no reservations on a Sunday and were seated within 5 minutes. Staff were attentive and speedy. Decided on the cappuccino and the chai tea latte, both delicious. The chai tea was especially sweet (the topping has roasted sugar!) so caution if you're sensitive to too much sweetness. As for entrees, the Breakfast Smash was both filling and tasty. Although the sandwich breading was thick ( roughly 1.5 - 2 inches in thickness) the other flavors came through. Served with crispy seasoned (course salt and black pepper) diced potatoes as a side. Second entree, the Three Mushroom omelette, offered a light umami taste including truffle and a thin layer of goat cheese that satiated one's palette but didn't over fill, also offered with a side of diced crispy potatoes or toast.

So glad I found this place on Yelp! Super cool brunch spot! Not too big which makes for a great atmosphere. Food and drinks were very yummy. We ordered 5 different things and all of them absolutely hit the spot. That blackberry mimosa is something else tho... buuuffff so good - a must-get if you like mimosas. Coffee was very tasty as well and lastly service was on point! Overall 5 stars! We will be back when in town again!

Stellar food and beverages. Make a reservation ahead of time! My party did not have one on a Saturday for lunch (about 2pm) and we did have about a 20 min wait. The space itself is cramped and claustrophobic and the chairs are downright uncomfortable. Almost no real estate in the minute two-top after entrees were dropped. That was the only unpleasant aspect of the experience, but it was significant! Enjoyed the wild mushroom and truffle omelette and a seasonal winter cocktail. My dining companion remarked that the kiddo cheeseburger was one of the best they'd ever eaten.
