Great fresh food

TLDR: Don't order the Hash. I highly recommend you do not order the hash. In its current iteration is consists of a bunch of boiled vegetables and a few pieces of corn beef, lacking in any sort of crispiness or to be frank, potato, and covered in an oppressive mustard sauce. I think its fair to assume that at minimum a corned beef hash should have some element of a crispy potato. This dish lacked that entirely, made even more confusing by the diner next to me being served a plate of fried crispy potatoes. The elements exist to make a pretty great dish, but somehow don't find themselves together. The top two ingredients by volume were par boiled asparagus and fava beans. No doubt they would be tasty if crisped up a bit with some potatoes and corned beef, but not boiled, and certainly not the majority of the dish. Kind of thrown for a loop at where the potatoes were in the dish as well despite being the #2 ingredient on the menu description. Search as I could, I couldn't find them. Made it about a quarter way through and just figured, why torture myself further? At the end I was just eating some undercooked veggies swimming in a sauce. Service and restaurant was great, ginger lemonade was top tier, but that "hash" kind of killed it for me.

Delicious. I don't like that they don't take reservations (annoying, get over yourself JS) but their food is freaking amazing. Will someone please give me like 10 of their scones to eat RIGHT NOW? Hakuna Frittata is wonderful; everything is wonderful. Get here EARLY on the weekends (like, before they open), they get very crowded.

A favorite place for brunch and lunch. Fun ambiance. Outdoor area is delightful. Service is mahvelous. Sometimes there’s a line. But. It’s. Worth. It!!
