Any opinions on "Eat" restaurant downtown?

The menu and reviews intrigue me, and we have one morning where I MIGHT get Ace around early enough for a breakfast meal.

We have both always preferred independent and "holes in the wall" restaurants to corporate-type places. (though I know Eat doesn't qualify as a hole-in-the-wall).

Any opinions or recommendations?

 

I ate there about 2 years ago. Got the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it didn't disappoint. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meals. If I remember correctly, the inside is kind of small so it was a bit of a wait (30 minutes maybe?) before we got a table.

 

Top-shelf breakfast - probably the best in the downtown area....

 

It's wonderful......I am not a foodie at all and I was impressed.

Went there with a couple of chefs from Hawaii and they really enjoyed it also.

The back story of the restaurant's inception is quite interesting and inspiring.

I would say go if it fits in your schedule, we found easy street parking, we did lunch and had no wait at all. I am guessing breakfast might be another story though. It's not a big place.

 

Best country fried steak (with CTUG) in the state!

 

Looks damn tasty. One of these days I'll get my lazy ass downtown in the am and give that place a go!

Thanks for the pic, mjames1229.

 

Agree with all, good food and a small restaurant. Looked like a lot of locals eating there when I went, and it is an easy walk over from the ELCo.

 

Cool. Sounds like I am right to have it on our dining list. Thanks to all for the info.....

 

I just checked my records and it has been almost 4 years since my wife and I dined at Eat. We had beignets one morning and thought they were excellent though pricey.

The last two times I was there, they did not offer the beignets. Which is too bad, as they were a delight.

 

Great breakfast plates and great lunch items as well. As a previous poster noted, the backstory here is very interesting. The restaurant is the first to pay back the development proceeds from the Zappos folks for downtown.

 

Here's the link to their menu

Ace-n-Lucille, Sorry! I just realized you already had the menu.
