| - My bf is rarely excited about traditional american breakfast foods. So I was suprised when he kept going on and on about the breakfast here, so we went to give it a try.
I started off with an almond latte. I asked for soy, but they only carry almond milk as a dairy alternative. So almond milk it was. It tasted fine... but I was a little disappointed.
He got the katz club sandwich. It was yummy. Very large portion -- easily big enough for both of us. I usually get clubs at diners and he was being nice, because I wanted to order the eggs that he couldn't stop raving about. The club also came with fries that were delicious.
I got the Shortrib Chilaquiles. It's a soft scrambled egg served over short ribs, black beans, tortillas, salsa verde, pickled peppers, & cheese. Maybe he just had my expectations hyped up too much with how much he loved it. But I was a little disappointed. It was much heavier than I wanted it to be for breakfast. The short rib was deliciously cooked, the eggs were a little over done.
It's a very cute place, the staff are very nice, but the prices are little higher than most diners. But the food is pretty good, and they serve rising star coffee -- if only they would carry some soy milk.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
