Overall impression: It's slightly better than Perkins/Ihop chain diners. The service was great, our server was very kid friendly, and our food arrived quickly and with correct orders. This is really the only way that this restaurant is an improvement over a typical breakfast chain.
The food is slightly better than your average breakfast diner, but it's definitely not as good as First Watch. If you are looking for a basic egg, breakfast meat, potato based meal, it's not a bad choice. We tried the steak and cheese omelet with mushrooms and onion, and the reuben. The french fries that came with the reuben were a good version of the ultra-thin Steak&Shake fries. The reuben was unremarkable. It wasn't particularly bad, yet I wouldn't order it again. There are much better reubens at other restaurants. The steak omelet was in line with your typical order from Perkins, IHOP, etc. At $8.95 per dish, it's probably not worth the extra money to dine here as opposed to a typical chain breakfast restaurant.

All I can say about this place is that UrbanSpoon ratings are not always accurate. The food was mediocre at best and the service and cleanliness were lacking. We tried the chicken fajita quesadillas and the burrito bowl with barbacoa. The barbacoa was fatty, including giant chunks of fat found at times. It's not even close to the quality of meat you would find at a Chipotle. The rice and beans were acceptable, if mushy and unremarkable. We tried 3 different sauces/salsas. The traditional salsa is very heavy on onion and cilantro, which leaves little room for a true salsa flavor. The "red" hot sauce wss hot, but tasted heavily of pepper. The "green" hot sauce was slightly better, but not something I'd choose to eat frequently. The quesadillas were decent. The chicken was seasoned fairly well, but they were greasy and average at best. Considering that the restaurant was completely empty when we arrived and had 4 employees working, I was surprised that I had to check 3 tables to find a clean one, and the one that was clean didn't have any napkins in the holder. The food took a while to be prepared and overall, I doubt this place has any longevity. I certainly won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Review - Considering that the restaurant is still in its soft opening phase, it has its act together nicely. We had a short wait, around 20 minutes, before we were seated. The hostess stand was a bit disorganized, but everyone was new and doing their best. Our wait didn't exceed our quoted time and we were shown to a table near the center of the restaurant. The decor is a twist on the typical mid-range steakhouse decor (Longhorn, Outback) and urban. I especially liked the metal/wood combination tables and the rock veneer walls. The prices on the soft opening menu were reasonable, with 10oz prime rib for $13, side Caesar salad for $3, and appetizers around $8. For starters, the Gorgonzola, pear, and honey on crostini appetizer was presented well on the plate and had a good flavor, however, the flavor didn't live up to the pricing. The prime rib was a bit overcooked for medium, but flavored well. The garlic mashed potatoes were more garlic flavored than a lot of other restaurants, but not overly so. The crazy rice side dish, which was brown rice, salsa, and peppers was a welcome change from typical restaurant rice, although it was slightly overcooked. The service was fantastic. Our server, Cassie, was very attentive and friendly. She was very busy, but also very efficient. The manager also stopped by to check on our food and get our overall opinion of the restaurant and encouraged us to return once they start serving their whole menu.
It's a refreshing change in restaurant style in the area, and if they continue to improve past their soft opening, it should a good addition to the area. Once they are serving the full menu, a return review will be posted.
