While visiting the aquarium, this place was a find. It is a little walk from the aquarium but worth it. I had a hamburger and it was great.

The food was fantastic! This is a very dog-friendly establishment that was nice to see. The benches outside are heated, which made the experience even better and more comfortable. I've been to this place a few times and I'm never disappointed.

Food was good. We went there for breakfast. Waited for about 15 minutes. Worth the wait. Seated at the patio with heater. Servers were very friendly.

A must visit before hitting the Aquarium. It’s just a few blocks away.

Love this place. Gets very busy, but worth the wait. I like how the bring a pitcher of water and coffee to your table so you don't have to keep on flagging down a server for a refill.

Great service with friendly smiles, delicious plates and gooooood coffee. My taste buds will crave the food once I get back home 200 miles away so I will be back soon.

I used to love this place. But I had the worst experience. We waited so long and got passed up by so many people who signed in after. Finally went to the back and there were so many tables empty and they said they are reserved. But then I seen people seated there that came in after us and watched them just sign in. Never again and I also felt like they are a little prejudiced . Go at your own risk, oh and the silverware was dirty and employees on their phones.
