A really popular place with a good reputation. The staff is especially friendly in a way that comes off as more genuine and sincere than your average restaurant. But that doesn't mean that you can hit on them! Tip well and keep your hands to yourself

This restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The team always treats guests with warmth and professionalism, making every visit feel comfortable and appreciated. The food is prepared just right each time, with portions that feel generous without being too heavy. The menu offers enough variety to keep everyone in the family happy, which makes it an easy choice for any occasion.

Breakfast was delicious - wonderful, huge omelette (could only eat half) and hashbrowns. Those were a little underdone so next time I'll tell them extra crispy. Coffee very good - maybe Intelligentsia? Not sure but didn't taste like diner coffee. (IYKYK)

Our server was excellent. Super busy on a weekend but she was very efficient and friendly.

Atmosphere - overly crowded and noisy (Sat AM). Parking a nightmare.
