I left this check-in tip and now am expanding into a review.  BTW, a good way to capture and \""image\"" of someplace that you can further develop later. \""M - F 7-11 five buck special.  What a deal for a simple meal\"".\n\nLet me explain why a three-star v. four:  Salt!  There was so much large grain salt on everything that it made eating, let alone tasting, very difficult.  Our hope is that this is an isolated incident and I will amend when we return...soon.\n\nChef:  pls check your prep in the kitchen and monitor the amount of salt.\n\nFried potatoes were nicely seared chunks, but we had to scrape off the salt.  Ditto the wonderful sausage gravy over biscuits. How frustrating to realize the savory flavors, the best such gravy I have had in years, but the salt overload prevented us from wolfing it all down.\n\nBut I digress... \n\nThis is an unassuming cafe, now restaurant opened by a chef couple who had worked at one of Charlotte's top restaurants.  The menu and ingredients reflect their exposure to more gourmet delights.  They serve Breakfast, lunch and dinner with some items carrying over from the previous menu.\n\nI had the lobster omelet...really!  Made with sweet sauteed onions, cheese and asparagus.  What a treat for an early morning wake-up breakfast.  Cinnamon crunch waffle with bananas was like pastry.  Another treat.\n\nAnd the eggs are made to order and they do an excellent sunny side up version.\n\nAsk to look at the lunch and dinner menus as just reading the offerings will seduce you into returning to try.\n\nWe are anxious to return in the hopes that the salting is left more to the consumer than the kitchen.  \n\nFlipside is special and worth your exploration.
