This was a fine breakfast experience. The food was solid and we'll be returning. Service was spot on. Only niggle was my toast was cold and wouldn't melt butter. Coffee was good as well.

Update: March 2025... We wanted breakfast on our way to points West and stopped at Farro's. We had lunch here before (see review below) and we were again, not disappointed. We started with their mozzarella sticks (yes for breakfast) and they are fantastic. They are not breaded, but are wrapped in a wonton type wrapper. We both had omelets with baby red potatoes and they are incredible. You need to stop here when you are in the area! -------------------------------------------------- Original Review..... What a wonderful dining experience we had last night. The atmosphere is pleasant with many locals in for a bite to eat. Our server was very helpful in describing the specials and checked in on us just the right amount of times. I started with a Tomatoe Bisque which was fabulous. I followed that up with the Montery Jack Lime Chicken with Baby Red Potatoes. Yummy! The chicken breast was huge and cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. I highly recommend you put this on your list of places to go.

This is a family favorite spot. The cheese soup is a recipe I want!! Great staff good portions decent price. The owner is always there to make sure everything is right. We love it and will support this city favorite!! Update on the picks. One is the meat lovers skillet with over easy eggs. The soup is cheese soup with crackers. The wings are huge!!! 10 for 12 or 14 for 17. Update: still awesome!! Only bad thing I feel is that they charge about $2 to use a debit card. But still delicious
