Went for brunch here this Saturday at the suggestion of friend to catch up. Although the restaurant was busy the entire time we were there, we were fortunately seated right away when we arrived around 1:30 p.m; there was always a few people waiting to be seated. Brunch is served at The Ace on Saturdays and Sundays until 3 p.m.
As many have said, the place had a "kitschy" ambiance. I don't usually go to diners, but I'm always up to try somewhere new that friends suggest. The diner was narrow, had a small open kitchen and lined with small booths. Service was really friendly and the space was cozy. I ordered the Ace Benedict - two poached eggs with parmesan leek fondue & peameal bacon, served on an english muffin with home fries and a couple slices of fruit. Delicious plate...enjoyed every bite. Coffee was regular diner coffee. The only trivial or inconsequential detail to most is that the smell of food and the small diner was trapped in my long hair...I could smell the diner in my hair and clothes when we stepped out of the restaurant. Otherwise, friendly, very casual brunch spot with great prices.
