Really enjoyed our meal. Nice variety of items on the menu. Service was great. Only downside ....they were out of some food options (ribs) and several wine choices on the menu even though reservation was at 7am on a Saturday.

The Ellis space is very welcoming- has the laidback vibe I look for in a restaurant. Decor well done, attractive and comfortable. Kevin is ever the host and I appreciated his humble sense of pride. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. I had the veg hash with sausage - pure gluten free heaven. Husband plowed through his chorizo hash- he loved it. Potatoes and poached egg were perfectly cooked, with perfectly seasoned veggies. Oh! I had the best iced coffee... coffee ice cubes with some delish liqueurs... it sneaks up on you. All in all- loved our time and will be back!!

Server made so many mistakes and was acting very strange. After constantly making mistakes the server was eventually sent home. What was supposed to be a nice team celebration outing turned into a bit of a gong show.
