I’d fight a war for the apple pancake, it does take a minute to come but it’s definitely worth it

The wait staff was friendly. That's the only positive. The omelet was way overcooked on the outside and raw on the inside, so totally inedible. I sent it back. It took so long for the chef to make it the first time around that I didn't ask for a redo. Plus, why would the chef do it correctly the second time just because it's a redo? The hash browns were terrible also: extremely crispy on the outside and raw on the inside. I'll never go back.

Per my 10 yo - “can we add a five star review?!??” He loved the pancakes and scrambled eggs. The fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing, and the omlettes come with hash browns and a side of 3 pancakes or French toast! It’s definitely shareable.

Go for the food. The restaurant hasn't been updated in years and rumors are that the property will be "redeveloped" soon. The apple pancake is the same delicious one we enjoyed in Illinois. Skip the swedish pancakes. They were a disappointment. Everything else on the extensive breakfast menu looked delicious at the other tables.

It's so delicious! ! ! !
The staff's service was also great, and when I asked about tourist spots, the staff brought them a list on paper. This is my first time experiencing such wonderful service!

The portions were so large that my family of 4 ate it, and it was enough for about 3 servings. I think the price is reasonable for this service and this amount.

First of all the place needs to be updated. It smells like it has a pest problem and I should’ve walked out the minute. I smelled what smelled like pesticides. The food came out pretty quickly, which was good, and despite the fact that the omelette looked overcooked, the pancakes looked pretty good. On first taste of the pancakes I realized that something was horribly wrong. Not sure if the flour they used had gone bad, but the pancakes tasted rotten. Omelette was overcooked, but at least edible. Would absolutely never come back here again.

I hadn't been here since my son was a toddler, pre COVID. My friend and I wanted to go somewhere different for breakfast. The service was decent. It was typical breakfast food and nothing special to write home about. The pancakes were dry. 😟 The coffee did not taste fresh. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was depressing. Inside it's old and run down and very noticeable since there were not a lot of people dining there.
