We came here first on Mother's Day, only to find that they had closed for the holiday. So while our first attempt was denied, we returned a few weekends later for brunch. The restaurant is a simple diner-style family restaurant, serving a number of breakfast and lunch items. Coffee is self serve from standing carafes in the back, while a water station is centrally located so you can fill up your glasses on your own. The staff is very welcoming and working hard to serve the many tables inside and on the patio. While indoors is great, on a good day, the patio is just amazing and peaceful, with a breeze coming off Talcott mountain and affords gorgeous views of the area (and tower). Food is really great with a price that doesn't make you wince when getting the check. This isn't going to be a fancy Sunday brunch, but instead just a great place to come with the family and get everyone fed under three digits. I also appreciated the fact that they could serve a single pancake, so if you're into savory brunches like I am, having a small bit of sweet on the side is appreciated.

Super friendly staff and fast service even during the busy weekend brunch rush. Tons of tasty menu options and they accommodated our special requests without batting an eye. My husband had the hangers, bangers and eggs (o my!) and loved every bite. He also ordered a muffin on the side which they warmed on the griddle for him. Delish! My daughter devoured her cinnamon roll pancakes, and they were able to make an egg white omelet with spinach for me and swapped the standard Resolution omelet fillings (mushrooms and peppers) for tomato and feta. Coffee is self serve, which was fine with us. Decent coffee and lots of flavor options! We'll be back again soon!

I ordered the Irish Benedict... held off on the home fries and ordered a side of Kielbasa. The food came out hot and presentation was good. Didn't wait long and hopefully people see the service is much faster. Even coffee is delicious and also serve so you don't have to wait for someone to refill your cup.

Amazing little local spot for a sit down breakfast. It can be pretty busy on the weekend, but it's the perfect place for a relaxed, delicious weekday breakfast. Very well priced menu and in a nice area with lots of parking.

The outdoor patio seating was just perfect in this beautiful sunny day. Nice view. The waitresses were very good. Very nice. The omelet was delicious. Potatoes were good. Seasoned just enough. Toast aas not as warm as i would have liked. Therefore the butter did not melt.

It's been 10 years since I've been going to this place and first reviewed it. It's now our go to place in town. Outdoor seating overlooking Heublein Tower? Yes please. And while indoors is more functional, the counter is perfect for just sitting, getting a cup of coffee and waiting for breakfast perfection to come. This place is a well oiled machine now. Servers take the orders on a tablet. The kitchen isn't big but churns out orders as quickly as they can. Each one is really great. The menu has a little something for everyone. I loved the Irish Benedict with their corned beef hash. So good. The eggs were cooked perfectly for that just runny enough enjoyment. The pancakes are huge and filling. Enough said on that. Can't go wrong there. But I keep coming back to the people that run this place and staff. You can tell they all love working there and that everyone has a good rapport. ACD is the place to be in the Valley. Don't miss it.
