My friends and I agreed the food was amazing! It was a cute little place to have a meal. Although a little cramped at entrance and within the restaurant, it was worth it. Staff was friendly, but I couldn't help but wish they smiled more. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

Good service and excellent food.
Their cinnamon raisin toast is addictive.
Portions are bigger than most breakfast places.

Parking: Handi cap access is out back, might be a bit out of the way. They have signage to direct you

Excellent food. Very big portions. Bring a big appetite or prepare for leftovers! We got the turkey dinner and chicken parmesan. Both were absolutely amazing.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots & accessible entrance in the back.

First, I want to share how uncomfortable the patrons of this restaurant made me feel. My wife and I were walking into the restaurant and a man sitting outside could not stop staring at me during a 35 foot walk from our car to the front door of the restaurant. I paused and said hello and thought maybe he thought I was someone else or maybe I am a basketball player or something like that because I am a tall person but no, his hello was more like a question than a hi from a friend. Inside of the restaurant made me feel even more uncomfortable. I felt like I was being interviewed for a job and knew I was not qualified. Most of the people in the restaurant gave me the impression I had gone into the restaurant at the wrong time. I sat at the bar reluctantly after almost turning around and leaving. But I was still unsure about whether to do takeout or not and the bar was empty and all the other tables were full with waves of gray haired men and women like myself and my wife. I noticed that I might have been a topic of conversation but I get that attention because I my attire is complete and I consider myself a handsome person. But I noticed that there were men in the far east end of the restaurant talking and one guy kept making eye contact with me and I with him. And then he walked into the kitchen area and continued looking in my direction. Did I get a get out of here look, I wondered?
I was hungry my wife was hungry we’d eaten at that dinner in the past and I have no complaints about the food. But I could not eat anything in the restaurant except the toast and I could not even drink my orange juice I had ordered. I forced myself to eat something because I had been injured 2 days earlier and I hadn’t eaten anything since then so I was hungry and I forced myself to eat my toast but after looking at the guy who was eating and sitting at a table get up and start conversations with the people who were cooking my food made my stomach hurt and my imagination run wild. I grew up in Boston and experienced how forced busing made it almost impossible for a lot of people to just be. I felt like that yesterday but no one was yelling epithets it’s just stares and Keith and Karen types leading the way. And notice around my neck I wear religious symbols and I wear those things because I feel a connection to people in general but those represent my life and the fact that I am 68 years old and I have no idea who my great grandfather is and my grandmother who was born in slavery and each symbol is a little piece of humanity of that culture. I explained that so that I could give clarification about how I move in this world even though I don’t have to explain myself or anything else. I have had similar experiences in kennebunk but it has gotten tiring. The BS has to stop ?
I am going out on a limb, we’re the people in the restaurant part of a convention?
Truth is, I am who I am and that’s all that I am
