We have had dinner at Eden and enjoyed it. Checked out the brunch menu on line and there was a lot there to choose from. Friendly and professional staff, our server was fun. Coffee and tea were great. Between the tree of us we did the avocado toast, breakfast sandwich and farmed omelet plus a fruit cup. Their fruit cup should not be missed, variety, presentation, size and inclusion of mint leaves, a real winner. All the main dishes were strong offerings. Add a nice bright room and tons of parking, no wonder why it was nearly full when we finished up.

My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!
