friendly staff great breakfast perfect location closed door long wait raw eggs
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! I especially liked the eggs benedict. The staff were SOOO friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. The location was perfect for exploring. Everything felt close by.
I noticed a few things that could be improved. The back door to the garden was closed. It meant a longer walk around the building. I had to wait a LONG time for my burger. It took about 45 minutes. My ham and eggs were not cooked properly. The egg whites were still a bit raw.
