Unfortunately, my dining experience at this establishment was a mix of highs and lows. On the bright side, the food was undeniably excellent, especially the delectable cinnamon bun pancakes. However, the overall customer service left much to be desired and progressively deteriorated throughout our visit. I must commend the poor bus boy/runner who was the sole attentive person during our meal, despite having to manage a precarious situation with a drink and an unstable glass. Regrettably, our waitress was not as attentive as we had hoped. We had to repeatedly request her presence, including asking for basic necessities like water for the table, checking on our order status, and ordering additional drinks. To compound matters, one meal was forgotten at our table, and my own order was incorrect. The lack of follow-up from the staff meant that these issues went unnoticed until we brought them to the waitress's attention. Despite the mishaps, I decided to enjoy my meal as it was, only to have my plate whisked away without a chance to voice my preference. While the replacement plate arrived promptly, it was accompanied by a delay in serving my friend's food and a subsequent lack of attention from the staff. The climax of our disappointment occurred when a runner/bus boy accidentally spilled an entire espresso martini on me, drenching my clothing and jacket. While I harbored no ill will towards him, his apology was the only acknowledgment of the incident. Even after I excused myself to clean up, no one from the establishment approached me to offer an apology or assistance. As per the account of my friends, while I was in the bathroom cleaning up, a representative from the establishment did approach our table to extend an apology. Their message essentially boiled down to acknowledging that we're all human and errors are inevitable. Despite the obvious inconvenience, there was no gesture of goodwill such as comping any part of our bill, offering to cover dry cleaning costs, or providing a reason to consider returning. Overall, while the quality of the food was commendable, the subpar customer service and lack of accountability marred what could have been a more enjoyable dining experience. Response to owner: Clearly you did not read my review. Throughout our entire visit, there were available tables, and no one was awaiting seating. While you may have been occupied, this circumstance doesn't justify the lack of acknowledgment.

We usually go to another spot for breakfast in town, but wanted to try this place out as we constantly see if being very busy on the weekends. We got in with no issues yesterday. When first entering it felt and smelt a little dewy, need to keep the humidity out of there. We ordered a kids pancakes with whipped cream , An Eggs Benedict, The over The Top Avocado, The Huevos Rancheros , 2 bloody Mary's and 2 Coffees. At first they brought us the wrong order which we were like ok no big deal. When the kids pancakes arrived they didn't have any whipped cream as stated and the pancakes were very lackluster. The Over the Top Avocado, the eggs were poached properly and overall was a good choice. The Eggs Benedict came with no Hollendaise sauce.. so I wouldn't really put smothered in the description. The Huevos Rancheros had no flavor whatsoever basically just ate bland rice beans and eggs. Also the bloody marys were pretty small for the price. Glad we didn't get refills on coffee after seeing another review stating they charged for another cup. On top of that they gave us the wrong check twice. Also saw the convenience fee which is a turn off. We gave it a chance, we will most likely not go back, we will stick to our other place on the weekends.

The owners Vilma (same name as my mom) and Leo are amazing and make you feel like you have been coming here your whole life and are family. The decor is beautiful and all hand made by Vilma. I could tell you 10 more amazing things about "TBH" before I talk about how DELICIOUS the food is. The food is wonderful and yummy, they have classics like pancakes and can take it up 20 notches with their INCREDIBLE Lemon Blueberry Delight pancakes (imagine pancakes to feed 4 people made with meyers lemons drizzled with home made glaze topped with fresh blueberries). They have everything from eggs benny, crepes, steak and eggs and salads or full lunch. I could go on and on and I haven't even talked about the bottomless Mimosas, bloody marys,beer, wines and did I mention the gourmet milkshake s🤪. I promise you will have a tough time deciding if you like the food, drinks, decor or the owners more and won't be disappointed no matter which you choose

Wow lets just say a scam... First i ordered the breakfast for champions the menu says 17 bucks its alot but oh well let me try it . 2 regular eggs fried potatoes and sausage ok the sausage was jimmy deans sausage the fried potatoes was just potatoes. They charged me 19.00 for the plate they charge on there menu 17.00 now the pancakes what a loss. highly disappointed tasteless. with aunt jemima syrup. The onion rings were also tasteless. Not worth the price or effort to go here. Would i go here again na, another wasted mahopac eatery, big hype no value or taste... over price place with little value. Oh a bottle water is 8 dollars a small cup of soda and i mean small 4 bucks hahahah wow . I will show my recipe in this review . The 5 star reviews are people who may be family or just delusional. But this place sucks

My cousin comes here all the time and has been raving to me about it! I had to see what the hype was, so I decided to have my birthday brunch here! It did not disappoint!! The food and drinks were so delicious!! I tried several different cocktails off the menu and then had to try the Bloody Mary because it looked so good!! Probably one of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had! The service was great and the owner was so nice and personable and even took several photos of us by the flower wall before we left. I will definitely be back here!!

We had a pleasant brunch here with friends who live in the area. I would say this is kind of like a dressed up Greek diner. I had the stuffed omelette, which came with one piece of toast, and some home fries, very filling, and quite tasty my husband had the fried chicken and waffles, he devoured it. Our friends have been there a number of times and they enjoyed their meals as well. The service is quite friendly and pretty efficient even when getting kind of busy. One complaint is the noise level, when the restaurant is full. It is extremely loud, and I think the owners would benefit by installing a few acoustic panels on the ceiling. I love brunch, and I certainly would be willing to give this place another try.
