| - This was our first time there (this past Sat., May 26/12). Not sure why I haven't heard of or been to this place before. What a fabulous find!
A classic vintage neighbourhood diner feel, but the food is definitely 'not your average diner'! Even one of the servers was dressed in vintage 50's attire & hairdo!
The menu is big on eggs, which was fin for what we were seeking.
I had Huevos Rancheros and my wife had the Cheese Biscuits with scrambles Eggs & Ham Gravy (that's right! HAM GRAVY!)
My Huevos was very good, and unique, esp in that the eggs are fired over easy, as opposed to scrambled. The portion size was just right.
My wife's dish was awesome, especially with the gravy. The biscuits tasted home baked, and were delicious. Its a bigger, heavier dish, suitable for larger appetites!
One of the nicest surprises was how good the COFFEE was! Most diners coffee is average at best, and usually sends me seeking my fave brew at Coffee Tree (or the like). But the brew at Ace is excellent & full-bodied. Bottomless cup is $2.
So, The ace makes their OWN Ice Cream & Sorbet on site!
We were too full to sample some, but will definitely make room next time.
How many 'diners' make their own Ice Cream? Let alone home baked biscuits & homemade gravy?
We will be back for sure! :)
