The food is delicious, the service and prices are excellent, the only detail that I didn't like is that they don't ventilate and the smell is very strong like when there is burnt oil. I hope they can solve it because it would be the number restaurant ❤️❤️

Review:Years ago, I stumbled upon this hidden gem, drawn in by the pride the father of the family took in both his food and service. The establishment quickly became a favorite haunt, offering solid fare and a welcoming atmosphere. However, recent visits have left me disheartened as the quality of both the food and service has noticeably declined.It appears that the absence of the father figure, who once epitomized the dedication and passion behind the operation, has taken its toll on the establishment. His absence is palpable, with the once exemplary service now marred by a lackluster approach.The new male waiters, who has never heard of hospitality, now exude a palpable disdain, their perpetual scowls a stark departure from the warmth and friendliness that once defined the service. Moreover, their attentiveness has waned significantly, with little to no follow-up after the initial food delivery.On one particularly disappointing occasion, when dining with a party of nine, the waiters refused to seat us until the entire party had arrived, despite the fact that the majority were already present. This rigid and inflexible approach to seating left us feeling frustrated and unwelcome.Furthermore, the once-active involvement of the family's children, who would often lend a hand and contribute to the familial atmosphere, has dwindled. Instead, they now seem preoccupied with their phones, oblivious to the needs of patrons awaiting refills or assistance.Despite years of patronage, the gradual decline in both the food quality and service standards has reached a tipping point. From actively avoiding certain waitstaff to contemplating whether it's worth returning at all, the experience has soured significantly.In conclusion, while it's disheartening to witness the decline of a once-beloved establishment, the reality is that the absence of key individuals and a shift in priorities have taken their toll. Unless significant improvements are made, it's difficult to justify continuing to patronize this establishment in its current state.

New Jersey native here. Coming from the diner capital of the US, I felt the prices were pretty reasonable, however the portion of my breakfast omelette could have been much larger. Did not appreciate the undisclosed credit card usage fee after I paid my bill at the register. This is a very sneaky tactic & that fee should not be pushed onto your customers. Don't do it, and please display a disclosure if this is your policy. If I had known, I would have paid with cash. Also, the restaurant had a smell of old reused cooking oil. Service was great, and we were checked on several times. Had your typical choices of anything you could want, with the exception of large desserts. I was slightly disappointed I could not get a nice large slice of NY cheesecake, or any cake for that matter. Did not see a dessert display case folks, sorry. They also close extremely early. The biggest deviation from a real diner, closing early around 7- 8pm. Nice diner, but those are NOT diner hours. Diners in Jersey close at 11pm or later.
