| - The main reason why I come here is the decor: you feel like you're stepping into a time machine transporting you all the way back in the 1950s-1960s. There's a nostalgic, retro feel to this brunch place, down to the tiniest details. Even the ketchup bottles are in glass, like back in the day, and they have an old brass cash register. The owner is always a delight, and the service is friendly (but sometimes uncoordinated... We got asked if we were ready to order by 2 different waitresses at a 1 minute interval).
I've tried a lot of things on their menu:
- Pancakes: served hot, they're amazingly fluffy, try the original ones with some butter and maple syrup. Heaven!
- Egg Benedict Byzantine: the portion of goat cheese they give you is astonishing, and it's so delicious that you dread finishing your plate.
- Huevos Rancheros: a healthier choice perhaps, if you go easy on the sour cream! A classic, it was very good.
- Heidi omelette: I would have liked my omelette to taste a bit more like goat cheese (since that's pretty much the feature of the dish). However, the spinach was perfect and the tomatoes weren't overcooked.
Their potatoes are the best: not too oily, just crispy enough, with some fried onions and bacon bits thrown in there.
And of course, like any self-respecting American-style breakfast place, if you buy a coffee, it's unlimited refills (and they're not skimpy about them either!)
Two thumbs up!
