Patio Cafe

Patio Cafe is a family-owned breakfast restaurant on Tamiami Trail North that has been serving locals since 2012, with homemade food and quick, friendly service. The breakfast menu runs deep: signature omelets, buttermilk pancakes, homemade cheese blintzes and potato pancakes, and specialty Benedicts such as the Pot Roast Benedict. Cinnamon Roll French Toast is billed as the house favorite. Greek touches show up in the gyro-and-feta Mediterranean Omelet and Greek Skillet.

The kitchen keeps going through lunch and dinner with salads, burgers, sandwiches, soups, hand-cut steaks, homemade meatloaf, roasted turkey, seafood and pasta. A full bar pours wine and handcrafted cocktails, and there is outdoor seating for eating in the open air. It suits anyone after an easygoing, unfussy meal, from an early breakfast to a casual dinner.
