| - Huge menu. Lots of choices. Pleasant decor, very crowded - all good signs. The two of us had the New York omelet and Spinach Florentine. Hopefully without sounding too nitpicky, I found the latter name to be a bit redundant, b/c of that funny.
Even though the size of the plates didn't overwhelm us, as has happened before, neither of us could finish the food. Cooked well.
The menu prices were (imo) uneven. Most of it was reasonably priced but there were some items that seemed very expensive for what you were getting. Like sliced tomatoes on the side for $2.45. However, I liked the option of ordering hollandaise as a (very reasonably priced) side. Likewise pitcher or water with lemon on table.
Pricewise, most important would be the coffee - we both ordered a cup. It came in a small carafe but the bill for both coffees was $4.58. That just seemed very expensive to me. It was typical diner coffee - better than some but definitely not what I'd choose on a regular basis. I don't expect it to be excellent but it is an integral part of breakfast out.
The total for 2 came to about $27 with tip - a lot more than I thought reasonable for breakfast.
Re: service, it was quick and fast. Not particularly friendly or unfriendly. But I had to clean the table after as there were grounds and coffee under where she first placed the carafe. Plus when I requested more cream (those jugs are tiny!) she put it right on the open newspaper on my right that I was reading. Needless to say, that didn't thrill me.
Overall, the food was ok, but I would look long and hard before going back.
