I've been to this place for lunch several times, so my review is based on the experience in the front bar area, rather than the dining seating in the back.
FOOD:
I can honestly say that this place makes one of the best eggs-benny's I've ever had. Just the right amount of runniness to the eggs, and drizzled with their oh-so-buttery hollandaise sauce. Their reuben sandwich is also fantastic with an ample serving of corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and the buttery bread - do you see a pattern here? I like butter...That being said, the sandwiches are a bit too pricey given that they don't even include a side dish.
SERVICE:
At the front bar during lunch time, the server is almost always an older gentleman who covers the bar and surrounding tables. I suppose I shouldn't call him a gentleman though, as he's frequently a bit too cheeky, with a bit too much sarcasm for my taste. He will also frequently pass you by despite seeing you waving him down. On one occasion he forgot to bring something I asked for, and then proceeded to blame me not actually asking - not ok.
Even though this place does not get overly busy, don't expect to get in and out if you don't have more than an hour for lunch, as said gentleman is very slow with facilitating the payment process.
VERDICT:
A couple of fantastic dishes offered here, but probably not enough to ignore the shoddy service and go out of my way to dine here.
