| - What do you get when you put a 50's-60's style diner (which are supposed to be cheap) and put it in Yorkville? Average prices for average food (as opposed to super cheap prices for average food - which is what diners are supposed to be).
Atmosphere - 3/5. It's not your typical breakfast joint in Yorkville, with all the fancy/schmancy stuff, nor is it a run of the mill breakfast joint. It tries hard to be "posh" 50-60's, and while I appreciate the uniqueness, it's not all-out. Like at least have a juke box right? It's not bad though, as their uniforms are even diner style, which is cool. When I see themed restaurants or areas/attractions, I prefer them to go all out as opposed to doing "hybrids" (also probably why I like authentic ethnic cuisine more than fusion).
Service: 4/5 - very friendly and personable waiters and waitresses. They are busy, but they don't forget the little things (e.g. the waiter saw I didn't have hot sauce on my table and asked if I wanted any and they also asked if I wanted a coffee refill after I got my bill).
Food: 3/5 Ordered the peameal eggs benedict. The poached egg itself was perfect, and once you cut into it, a nice yolky centre came oozing out (love it!). However, I found the hollandaise sauce a bit too sweet and overpowering. I prefer the hollandaise sauce to cover most of the egg, but not all of it plus the English muffin. Oh yeah and the English muffin, very run of the mill, but didn't seem crispy enough. Don't get me wrong, I'd have it again, but it wasn't exceptional. Very pedestrian.
So basically, I ate in Yorkville and I didn't get ripped off! BONUS POINTS!! :-)
Overall 3.33/5
