I was planning to find a restaurant in town to grab a bite for breakfast, but the conference I was attending started early so I stepped in, hoping for something quick yet tasty. I explained that I was in a hurry, and I was assured that they could accommodate. Ordered an omelette with all the veggies and meats, which was made fresh but delivered quickly with a smile. Not a big menu, but exceeds many in-house hotel restaurant breakfasts.
We were there for an early supper. We were the only customers. Service was pretty slow. The menu is limited. We ordered the corn dip app. I had the chicken strips and my wife had the chicken wrap. The app was okay. My chicken strips were nothing special. The wrap was good. The price was reasonable. I would like to try the breakfast buffet on the weekend.
Parking: The issue was that directions given to a parking lot were useless. The route to the lot was closed. No alternate directions were provided.
Kid-friendliness: Not a good fit for kids unless they are very well behaved.
