This place was such a welcome surprise and what they are doing here is truly special. The moment we walked in, the warmth of the service was enough to brighten anyone’s morning. The food? Absolutely fantastic. We both had the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Eggs were cooked to perfection(one scrambled and one over hard), and the homemade English muffin was a 10/10. The hash browns, spot on. The true highlight, though, was our server Marisol. She was kind, bubbly, and so attentive. To top off an already great breakfast, she showed us some handmade crafts she was proud of, and we left with a seashell and bracelet that will always remind us of the experience. All in all, this was more than just a meal and a view, it was a moment of joy. 100% recommend stopping by. You’ll leave with a full

First thing first.. A must go to Restaurant Experience !!! Second if you need to start your day right and have an experience that reminds you of all that is good in the world, then this place is the place to start your day, week, month. It's more than a meal it feeds the soul and refills your joy. Third food is perfectly made and prepared. Served with enthusiasm and your every need is cared for by the most attentive staff I have ever experienced. We came with 2 children under 2 years old. We were accommodated and had all we needed. The cranberry walnut bread toast is a must order. Made in house. We ended up buying a loaf to take home. Fourth, the atmosphere and location is the best. Ample parking. If you're having a rough day and need a boost. If you simply want to enjoy a good me

Had a lunch date here with my besties and it was a beautiful view of the Thames River since we sat outside. For anyone who doesn't know, this restaurant employs individuals with special needs. The staff were incredibly friendly, prompt, and so happy to serve. The restaurant is very clean. There is plenty of parking available as well. I ordered the fish and chips and was expecting a small portion of cod for the cost. When it came out I was taken aback by how much I actually received. Perfectly cooked and I could only get through half of the larger piece (see picture) and ended up taking the rest home for a second meal. I plan on coming again to try breakfast!

From the minute we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. The staff was amazing as was the food. What a great find!! All of the bread is made fresh daily.

Service was good, food was good, maybe a little slower than we were expecting it to be, but eating outside on the cover deck was great for me. I do love that they give an opportunity to everyone to work!!! I will go back again for breakfast with my husband.
