Palm Coast — Restaurant in Georgia

It was a Saturday morning. Took twenty minutes to finally be greeted and have drink order be taken. Not a big deal. Was a Saturday morning and they were busy. An hour had passed after drinks and food order was put in and our waiter not once checked on us, updated us, anything. I heard from the hostess talking to someone interested in being sat that the kitchen was behind. We were just about to flag someone down to just pay for our drinks and leave and someone brought our food. Everyone’s food at the table was cold except for one or two things like the grits and sausage. But the eggs, toast, etc were cold and not great. Little time passes and our waiter does finally come to check on us and refill coffee and when he asked I let him know the food was cold. He offered to have it remade and usually I would have taken that up but we had already waited about an hour and a half for what we got. So I declined and he apologized. They had a pay on the phone for your bill option and that was awesome and efficient but I feel like none of the servers at even the tables around us were checking on their tables because of this service. We paid our bill the waiter did bring me a homemade oat bar it looked like on the house which was sweet of him and was very good. That and the fact that someone else came to check on us before we left and apologized for the service, who had a sense of humor is why I gave 3 stars Instead of 1. Restaurants get busy, staff gets overloaded but this is the first place I’ve been to in a long time where both the food and the service...

We just left Palm Coast and I really felt the need to review this restaurant while the experience is still fresh in my memory. I think the best way to explain it is that my days will now be divided into two categories; before Palm Coast...and after. Whenever we visit the coast (any coast), my goal is to eat as much fresh seafood as I can. Since I live in a place that's so very landlocked, good seafood is hard to come by. I ordered the mahi sandwich- and I can honestly say that it's the most delicious mahi sandwich that I've ever eaten. All mahi sandwiches from here on out will be compared to the one I just ate, and I may never find one that I love as much as here (which is kind of sad, if you think about it). The piece of fish was huge, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented with a side of refreshing Greek pasta salad. My husband ordered the Meza plate and absolutely loved it, and it was very filling. My daughter ordered the Caribbean chicken salad sandwich. She wants me to try to somehow replicate the recipe at home, though I'm not sure I'll be able to. My other daughter ordered the tuna melt. She loved it so much that she can't wait to eat the other half later for dinner (it's big enough for two meals, in our opinion). Our server, Andre, was a super cool guy, and he really took care of us. You should ask for his section when you go there. I'm sure the other servers are great...

We were walking past this unassuming, but cute, spot when we noticed they had coffee. We had been searching the town for coffee, so this was our chance. Even though it was nearly closing time we were encouraged to come on in and have a seat wherever we liked. My husband was thinking nobody would find us and we'd be out of luck. Not the case. We were greeted immediately + we ordered two coffees and received our menus.

I quickly realized I made a mistake by ordering coffee, because I love cappuccino and they had it on the menu. Our server was back with water already and I asked her if it was too late to change and she assured me it wasn't too late, no matter what. Very kind.

We had not planned on having lunch. We actually had lunch packed in our car cooler, since we've been traveling a few days. However, my husband's eyes got big when he perused the food offerings.

He kept oohing and awing, so of course I had to look. Lol. We both ended up with a full scale lunch!

I felt I had to write this review because the food was so darn good. I had the chicken salad with orzo salad + lettuce salad lol. That's lots of salad but it was so amazing. My husband had a chicken Waldorf salad sandwich and Greek pasta salad. We enjoyed this meal so very much.

Also, our server was both pleasant and spot on. Such a great cafe - I wish we had this one in...
