My dad and I stopped here on our drive back to Washington. It was a great find! When we got there, there was a line of people for the hostess stand. We put our name down and were told a 10-15 minute wait and were seated in about 10 minutes. They have seating and free coffee while you wait which I thought was rly great!! They have an extensive Gluten free menu which I was in awe of. The vibe loud but not excessively so and the view is great. The service was great, we were checked on frequently and at one point the coffee machine broke so there was a wait for coffee and the, what I assume was the owner, came out to apologize for the wait. Great experience and would come again. Omelette 4.5/5: I feel like it's pretty hard to screw up an omelette. It wasn't anything crazy special but very tasty. I would order it again. Trout and Eggs 5/5: my dad ordered this and absolutely loved it. He finished it all and would order again Orange juice 4/5: doesn't taste super fresh but good all the same Pot coffee 4.5/5: rly good for pot coffee
Cute restaurant with reasonable prices in CDA. It's right on the river and has big windows and great views. There are paid parking lots across the street and all you have to do is enter your license plate number on an IPad once you enter the restaurant for validation. Easy access to walk down to the docks to explore a little too if there's ever a wait. It's a big, clean space inside and never got too loud even though it was pretty busy. Food was good and service was friendly. Definitely family friendly!
Breakfast People Chow. Clean place for families with nice outdoor seating and inside has baffles to help with the noise, but if you have hearing aids...good luck. Best go outside when it's warm. Food is your typical American breakfast with the comfort foods you want and nothing "crazy" just good, relatable, family breakfast/brunch that everyone can enjoy, and not feel like this is "too weird." I like weird but Americans usually don't and if you have those basic kinda people, this is a great basic kinda place with a great view of the lake.
Such a cute place with an amazing view of the lake. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The eggs Benedict were very tasty. Thank you to our waitress who was very attentive and even gave us great recommendations for things/places to explore around town. And an added bonus is that they validate your parking.
Came in around 8 AM on a Saturday. There's a paid parking lot across the street but the restaurant has free 3 hour validation, just make sure you know your license plate and you input it on a touchscreen right when you come in. I was seated immediately, and was asked if I had a seat preference, and ended up with a nice view of the lake. After several minutes, my order was taken, and I opted for the cider off their fall menu, and a lobster Benedict. I got my drink quickly and it was warm and incredibly delicious. I have never been served quite as good apple cider at a restaurant, so this stop was worth it for that alone. Soon after, I got my Benedict. The amount of lobster was quite generous, and the eggs and potatoes were incredibly well seasoned. It also came with a small side of spiced apples which were great. Overall decent tasting food for a good price with good and a nice view!
Beautiful but extremely busy location. Make sure to remember your car plate number for parking validation. Expect to wait during the summer and weekends for a table, especially for outside seating when the weather is beautiful. Luckily, the food and service is very much worth the wait! The restaurant has an amazing lake view and seating. Absolutely stunning. Went to a vacation weekday brunch with girlfriends. We skipped a longer wait for outside seating and opted for an inside window lake view instead. Service was slow but extremely friendly and attentive when they could swing by the table; it was a very busy morning. Bloody Mary's took a while to get to us, but friends raved about how delicious they were. I love a good Benedict and was excited to try the Baja Benedict. Friends had the Rock Lobster Scramble, Colorado omelet and the Monte Cristo crepes...everyone loved their dishes and every morsel was devoured. My Baja Benedict and those perfectly poached eggs was a perfect blend of savory and richness. The hollandaise sauce was such an inviting flavor and texture. Every bite was scrumptious.
Lots of kids working summer jobs and doing a great job at running the front desk and service! Food was top notch and wait not too long on a Fri afternoon. The lobster Benedict was good, but the trout with eggs was on another level. Cooked to perfection. The pancake was also quite fluffy :) The kids activity sheet was fun and well thought out as well. Oh, and the view of the river too lol Pro tip: Parking is validated for 3 hours, so have brunch and take your time walking on the boardwalk!
Came here with a friend today. We are both gluten free and there are so many options. The gluten free waffle was heaven. The turkey sausage was good and the potatoes. We have the huckleberry, mango and grapefruit mimosas. All flavors were good. It was very busy and kitchen took a little longer but staff kept us up to date. The back patio overlooking the river was lovely even through it was a little windy today.
In town to visit my son and he brought me to this gem of a place. Memories made here! Ambiance, incredible feel and wonderful view. Perfect way to start the morning or have brunch. I love that they do not allow animals on the patio so it stays clean. I have animal allergies and I appreciate this. Food, they have traditional options and then some eclectic options. Serving size is not to large as the price is right. My son got a skillet with all the meats and added a few extra eggs. I had the breakfast enchiladas made in crepes, I enjoyed them. Chicken inside was dry and I would have liked to see more veggie options. Only suggestion is the potato's are a little under cooked and cooked in back grease and I don't eat bacon so I was disappointed that it was not mention in the menu. Service was quick and friendly!
