A charming old-school brunch spot with a cozy interior and stained-glass windows. The menu is huge, and everything we tried was hearty and comforting. Highlights included the Santa Fe omelette, chipotle chicken crepe, and the apple cinnamon pancake - decadent, spongey, and so perfect for fall. The potato pancakes were also nicely fried with a soft interior. A very satisfying, shareable meal and a great spot for a big group.

Service was great food was really good and I loved the atmosphere! The Venetian Benedict was delicious as was the chipotle crepe. Pancakes were yummy as well.

A CLASSIC! As a child my parents brought me here and as an adult I now take my mom as often as possible! We went for MLK Jr.Day and had a blast! Always good service, short wait time, good energy, all around a wonderful breakfast spot!

★★★★★ 5.0 John Rizzo · Feb 2026

Every single facet of my visit was great: Historic 66 year old "diner" exterior, upscale interior decor with lots of woodwork and stained glass. Friendly, attentive, fast service. High-quality flavorful food executed perfectly. Ordered the Walker Bros. Combo (I think it was called): 2 Eggs atop moist cheddar hash browns, came with a side of breakfast meat- I chose thick cut bacon, came with a choice of pancakes- I chose the thin "gooey" pancake with crispy edges (precisely what I was hoping it would be). All served up with high-quality, fresh coffee. What an amazing joint!

Great pancake and omelette in a historical location. Indeed a pleasant dining experience with my long time no see friend. Worth of revisits.
