Wow, we came expecting it to be pretty good, but it still exceeded expectations. Eggs Benedict was cooked perfect each time. The sliders were flavourful. The French toast was soft yet crunchy. We loved everything and will be back.
Ps…reserving for buffet recommended.
November 2025
Decent food, great price for the breakfast buffet. Very small hole in the wall, I was seated at the window which was good but it was clear they haven't dusted in a very very long time
November 2025
Really excellent food at really reasonable cost. I tried the weekend buffet, and besides the 'burgers' which were a bit dry and rice-heavy, everything was really enjoyable. Service was fast and friendly even though the small venue was completely full. The non-buffet items looked a bit more complex and definitely worth checking out as well. I'm looking forward to going back.
