    Tasty food, creatively presented in attractive surroundings. Excellent service. (They even box up leftovers and have them waiting in the front for pickup when you leave.) A bit pricey especially for the entrees and somewhat limited wines by-the-glass, also a bit expensive.

    We had a reservation for four people at 1 p.m. but were not seated until almost 1:30. No reason was given for the delay, plus the hostess seemed to be seating people who arrived after us. Once we were finally seated, a member of our party (who wears a hearing aid) could not hear conversation at our table because of the loud background music, so we requested a quieter spot. We were able to move to a corner table, which was an improvement. The manager also might have lowered the volume of the music. If so, we appreciated that. Though the music eventually became louder again later. Our server was polite and friendly. He took our beverage order first, and we waited at least 10 minutes to receive two decaf coffees and a mimosa. Then he took our food order, very patiently answering our questions about the menu and suggesting a few shareable dishes. We chose to start with the crispy tater tots, which were indeed crisp and served with a barely spicy "voodoo sauce." The appetizer was nice but we probably wouldn't order it again. When the rest of our food arrived, everything looked delicious. There were two frittatas, the BLT and the grain bowl. One person loved the frittata, which came with beautiful mixed greens; another thought the frittata bland, considering it appeared to consist of only two eggs, one measly sliced fingerling potato, chopped kale and basil, and dots of cheese. The huge BLT got a thumbs-up. And the room-temperature grain bowl was tasty and deceptively filling; I took a third of it home. We finished by sharing the french toast with caramel sauce and whipped goat cheese. Everyone agreed it made a fine dessert despite being listed as a starter. The tab was close to $100 per couple. Not sure this meal was really worth that much money, but we had a pleasant time, our server was courteous and the ambiance was comfortable and homey. We'd entertain the idea of a return visit but definitely order more carefully and with the bottom line in mind.

    Someone suggested we go to Agnes for Sunday brunch, and it was delicious! The pork belly, eggs, bread, and sauce were an amazing combination. The warm banana bread with honey butter topped off our meal so sweetly.
