OK, stop right there.
Not only did the owner catch me stealing recipes (or how I would put it, "borrowing ideas") but he offered up his contact information so we can continue to talk about business. This, is probably why this place is such a breath of fresh air, great food, and friendly staff.
It could use a little more room to expand as the seating is packed in pretty tight, but that was quickly forgotten about once I started sipping down my craft cocktail and smashing food into my face.
I went with the french toast and fried chicken. Chicken was moist and the outside perfectly crispy and the french toast done right - thick Challah bread grilled to perfection.
My friend ordered the petit pancakes with maple bacon. Legit!
This is a "must revisit and become a regular" type of place. And I'll be back.
5 stars all around
