Livingston's Cafe — Restaurant in Andover

Whereas I am sure that each dining experience can be good or bad, we have eaten here two times and have had good experiences both times.

FOOD: The first time we dined here, we had a mixture of breakfast and lunch foods. My wife had eggs and the small stack (pancakes) and they were perfect. There was plenty of food and the pancakes were rather large! I had the daily special (Monte Cristo and fries). The sandwich may have been the best I’ve ever had and the strawberry sauce definitely won my vote! The fries are the best - hands down. I love their fries. The next time we went, we both got breakfast with biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns and a side of sausage. It’s definitely going to be ordered a second time. We had a great dining experience with the food both times!

SERVICE: Our waitress the first time was much nicer than the second but that doesn’t mean the second one wasn’t any good. They were both attentive to our needs and the experience(s) good.

ATMOSPHERE: This is a cafe atmosphere and it was most welcoming! We felt relaxed and not rushed in the least way. It’s easy in and out...

When ours finally came out of the kitchen I asked her for some help to pay for a coffee so we could leave. There were others waiting to get their orders taken and many tables without food. I’ve been waiting for this restaurant to open as I have a friend who lives in the apartments upstairs and it was very...

We sat at the bar and got water right away. Waited about 20 minutes for a waitress to take our order. Another 30 for the food to come out. The cinnamon roll was fantastic, and way bigger than I expected. Everything that came out of the kitchen for other people looked really good but when we got our eggs benedict I was so disappointed. The sauce had broken so it was just a weird lumpy mush instead of a smooth hollandaise and tasted like way too much lemon juice. Disgusting. And unfortunately the eggs were significantly overcooked. It was just not good. Due to the wait we didn’t want to bother with having it remade. Go but for the love of all things avoid the...
