    @nookdowntown has been one of my faves for a while. I also suggest their hanger steak and eggs or the godfather Benedict. When we went this time we had the cinnamon roll griddle cakes and banh mi Benedict. #arizonainfluencer #azinfluencer #tucsoninfluencer

    Saturday morning delight! Tucked away in a beautiful space in the middle of downtown a garden like outdoor seating with plenty of shade provided a great place to start the day . Wonderful sumptuous choices. Don’t leave without trying the scones.

    Excellent first visit! We all enjoyed our food, presentation and service. I got the full size banana with added chocolate chips griddle cakes. They were over the moon — so fluffy and filled with mashed banana. The best ever!

    Beautiful restaurant, the food was tasty, but not out of this world. They should’ve supplied a sharper knife since I ordered the Godfather that has sliced prosciutto in it. There is no way you can slice that with a butter knife so it made my beautifully presented breakfast, look like a mess on my plate. But overall wasn’t bad and it was only $122 for five of us to eat. That’s also not bad. Setting a reservation is a must there were people there waiting 45 minutes to an hour to get seated.
