We decided to have brunch here after hearing so many amazing things about the food and service but unfortunately the experience here was not what we expected. The food was good but the service can definitely be better (specially from the owner/manager).We came here to have brunch with friends who were visiting Boston after almost 2 years. So after we sat down we all discussed the menu and then started chit chatting and catching up with each other and forgot the fact that the owner told us to close our menus when we are ready. I know it is common courtesy all over the world, but sometimes you are in the moment interacting with other people on the table and this is not a white tablecloth 5 star dining experience. This is a casual restaurant where we wanted to have a nice brunch with friends. But the owner came to our table and gave us a lecture about how we need to close the menus and how this is a common practice that is followed all over the world. I mean yeah most of the people on the table have been any where from 15 to 50 countries so we know dining courtesy but what we didn't need is that lecture. It was actually very embarrassing for him to talk to us like we were some illiterate people who have never dined at a restaurant before.Also we went there towards the tail end of the busy hour around 1pm but since we had 1 member missing from our group, he wouldn't let us sit inside(mind you we were a small group of 5). So in addition to standing in line waiting for our turn, we also waited additional 20 minutes outside in the scorching heat when a few tables were empty and he could have easily sat us inside. We would totally understand if it was super busy but I mean this is your restaurant and not a federal building where you can't make exceptions. The worst part is, after we were seated another group came and they were seated right away even though people were missing in their group. The manager who is so loud that anyone can hear him, seated them next to our table and asked them to relax and have drinks while they waited for the other diners. Anyways the food was decent. The omelettes are nice. The home fries are my least favorite, under cooked and under seasoned. My husband's favorite french toast is Coconut Macaroon although avoid the cream cheese and banana french toast, for it is flavorless and dry. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which is delicious. Waffles are excellent, my favorite is the caramelized banana and walnuts. My friend tried Caramelized Banana and Strawberry which she said was overly sweet and doused in sugar syrup. Maybe they should serve sugar syrup on the side so people can add it according to their liking. The banana pancake was nice and fluffy. I have mixed feelings as to whether I want to go back and dine here again. Time will tell!Anshita, weâre so glad that you and your friends could join us for a happy reunion. Because weâre a smaller establishment, we like to welcome and treat our guests with the same charm and good humor like we would welcome good friends. Additionally, we tell each and every party the same thing about our policy -- that when our guests are ready, we ask that they close their menus, just so we can serve them without delay. We sincerely apologize if this was interpreted in any other way than merely informative and with light humor. Furthermore, we're delighted that you enjoyed most of your meal. We're always happy to make recommendations from our menu so you can enjoy meals that are exactly what you're looking for. That said, it's possible to get the syrup on the side on any of our meals, and we would have been more than happy to accommodate this request had we known. Also, we admit there may have been some mistake, however, we follow the industry-standard policy that all members of each party need to be present before the party can be seated. Weâd love to welcome you and your friends back again for a better all-around experience.Sincerely,Mike, Owner

Picture a classic 1950s diner. Now picture it after Millenials made a few tweaks, adding some cold brew coffee options on tap, cage-free egg omelets, and organic bacon. The quality is ubiquitous in everything you order, the service was prompt and the Breakfast Club theme is nostalgic and fun to be a part of.Happy to see you enjoyed our theme and our food selection. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Hope you'll come back again when you're feeling nostalgic for the 80s. Warmly,George, Owner

We went and it was very busy. The guy at the cash register was so helpful and service orientated, a really good experience from the getgo. We went upstairs and ate/drank our coffees. The coffee and food was great! Would recommend this place, without hesitation.
