We were visiting from out of town and fell in love with this little place. Beautiful part of town and great ambience inside the restaurant. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and everything that passed our table looked fantastic. My spouse ordered a coffee drink called the Honey Bee and it was amazing. Both of us liked what we ordered, and I especially liked her French toast. I took a star off of my review because my meal was served only slightly warm. They were extremely busy so I'm going to cut them a little slack, but my eggs were more Over Medium than Over Easy, and my gravy had cooled quite a bit. We would recommend it anyway and judging by the crowd in the place when we left, I think this is a very popular spot in town. The staff was also very friendly.

I will happily change my 1 star to a 5 star when I receive 5-star service again. I used to enjoy this location and have recommended it to others, but yesterday was very disappointing. The gluten-free pancakes were under par (even the waitress admitted this due to a new chef), and the breakfast potatoes were burnt. When we asked for more, they didn’t arrive until after we had already finished eating. Service was also lacking. The waitress’s attitude shifted once I asked about a discount, and instead of the manager coming over to address it, only $2 was taken off the bill—which didn’t even cover the gluten-free upcharge. For now, I’ll stick to the Leawood or downtown locations. If I ever change this one-star review, it will be because I received true five-star service and management made the effort to reach out.

Just driving around checking out someone the neighborhoods, we stumbled across this quaint restaurant about noon on a Sunday. It was busy (good chance the food is good). A short wait for a table, the food and service was fantastic. The chicken salad sandwich was a winner here. Also, they serve local community items like Messenger Coffee, also my favorite this weekend.

We got to dine in and grab some take-out from Homegrown. It is a trendy upscale farm-to-table eatery that won't disappoint. Everything had a pleasing rich flavour and the staff were great.
