    Nice little restaurant, but the food we got was not very good. The French toast was very watered down with the toppings which made the bread soggy plus it was stale as well. The bread used for the avocado toast was stale too. Best thing from our meal was the coffee.

    Always an excellent choice for brunch! Food quality is fresh and flavorful. I struggle with not getting the same thing every time because their chicken sandwich is the best in the city.

    Wonderful!! The food was phenomenal and the service first class. We enjoyed the 70s diner vibe, enjoyed our service staff, however most of all we enjoyed the food! A very high recommendation for those interested in great food and service!

    Excellent service all around. Friendly staff members. We had an issue with one dish and everyone jumped to make it better and they went above and beyond. We'll be back for sure
