This was our first visit, we came in for breakfast right at opening on Monday. Erin greeted us and was very polite and welcoming.The restaurant gives off a comfortable homey feel. The music choice was good, the volume loud but not obnoxious to where we couldn't talk across the table. We admired the artwork and fixtures and even enjoyed the random coffee mugs they seem to use.The menu although small had lots of options, we were able to chose from the entire menu even though it was only 8am. We went with the burrito bowl and the Skillet, the special of the day. Both came out looking very appealing. The dishes tasted fresh and flavorful. The toast with their homemade jam and butter were my favorite part. Everything was so delicious. The bread pudding was suggested to us at the end of our meal so we split a slice, very good.Service was good. She checked on us enough but also let us enjoy our meal and conversation. The cost wasn't terrible, about what to expect these days while dining out. We will return!

Wow!!!!!! I am kicking myself again for not getting here sooner. Located in a beautiful old building downtown Appleton, this long, narrow restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance with big windows at the front, a fully stocked bar (with the best bloody's and mimosas) and the right amount of seating to keep it cozy and private yet functional for them to fill the place up.Dined in for breakfast, skipped the local coffee and went right to the cocktails that were hand made and delicious. I added the empanada to my bloody Mary and was glad I did, absolutely delicious and such a cool touch. My wife had the floral mimosa that was perfectly light and tasty. She ordered the cheese risotto cake- this dish was slightly sweet served with avocado and a poached egg, it was very pleasant to eat with the flavors balancing perfectly! I had the daily scramble feature- cast iron Pan loaded with caramelized onion, potatoes, fluffy eggs, sausage, cheese, and avocado on top with a nice thick slice of buttered sourdough.Everything was fantastic from service, food, ambiance, and price. We can't want to get back for dinner, this is a must try for anyone!
Aside from parking hassles, this place is wonderful.

This is my favorite breakfast/brunch place within 100 miles of where I live. I never miss a chance to eat here. I have also had lunch here and it was awesome. Everything is so lovingly prepared and the ingredients really shine. I love that they use real maple syrup… this is Wisconsin after all! Today I had the sourdough french toast with the most delicious apples on top and it was wonderful - great balance of sweet and savory. Sorry for the low quality picture I couldn’t wait to eat! The cafe batido is a must. The atmosphere is so cozy and calming. Perfection!

I love, love, Authors.Best biscuits & gravy ever, bloodies are solid too.The bad, worst business hours ever for such a fantastic eatery. Especially if you're from out of town visiting on weekends.Servers are super nice and accommodating! Never had a bad experience.
Great location within walking distance from hotel. Great atmosphere, craft cocktails and delicious food.
