Friday night stroll on the square for our Just Desserts! The almond cake with the perfect amount of sweetness and never dry or heavy, combined with a delicious and slightly tart berry compote made for the perfect bite. No artificial tastes here. If you’re in a fudgy dark chocolate mood, the molten chocolate cake will definitely hit the spot. Combine it with a warm Irish coffee and you’ll have the ideal trio to hit all the right notes. Our server was warm and friendly. And it wasn’t so loud that you had to strain to hear the sparkling conversation. Thank you Avocados—best desserts on the Square!
This Resturant is at a nice small strip mall. We called and reserved as we were traveling on a long weekend. Our table was ready when we arrived and ready to jump into ordering. We had several options to choose like salads, omelets etc Service was nice and so also the food.
Really good wish they had more breakfast food options though. The server and host was really nice and overall a nice place not too expensive.
It's a cool little restaurant. I went for the Sunday brunch. It was pretty good, but I'm not so sure the price matched the quality. I definitely would not recommend the latte here... it was not good. I was also kind of bummed they didn't have eggs. As far as the rest of the food goes, it was pretty good... nothing really had a wow factor to it, but there was a decent variety for sure. This place was worth a try, but I doubt I would be back for brunch.
I went the other day, and the food was decent. However I noticed that some of the workers were being rude to their own coworkers. When I asked my server who it was they said destiny. While the restaurant seems pretty good the workers lack respect for one another.
