I have eaten here once a week for 22 weeks and can say that it is really the best for breakfast. The food is outstanding and creative. The ladies room could use a little more attention. More

No surprises here. They make a delicious breakfast. The highlight is the french toast, as everyone has been raving about. Thick, chewy and swirled with a heavy dose of cinnamon.
