The things I like the best about Ogden's are not related to the food. I love the location, the look and feel of the restaurant and the staff. Whether is is a sunny summer day or a freezing winter morning, Ogden's feels "homey" and relaxing. You can't be shy. We often get into good conversations with those sitting at the next table. The restaurant is small and folks sit very close to one another. In this case, this is a plus. I have met many very lovely folks while dining.
The staff is very friendly and are good at their jobs. We are remembered by name and they always keep the coffee coming. The coffee is strong and hot. My guy drinks tea and he appreciates the options.
I find the food to be fairly simple and the bread choices could be more eclectic . I have only eaten breakfast dishes so I cannot speak to their sandwich offerings. I think if the bread was better it would really sway my judgement. Challah, a grainy rye, something of substance.The one breakfast item I love is their pancakes. They are PERFECT. I never had a better pancake. Writing this makes my mouth water.
All that said, I would eat here daily for the ambiance and kindness, if my pocket allowed. Oh, they are closed on Tuesday and open on Monday! Easy to make that mistake.
