“ I just had a cup of soup and a mimosa as I was waiting for a meeting. The soup was tasty, hot, and served quickly. Loved that the mimosa was served in a coup glass instead of a flute. I struggled connecting to the WiFi but the server (Noah) was patient and helpful in getting connected. ”
“ Small well hidden gem in Jacksonville, TX. Quite calm environment. At first I thought the wait for food was long but once it arrived my mind changed. The quality was exceptional and we will definitely return. Recommend the grilled cheese on croissant with everything. ”
