I live very close to this place and it used to be a real hole in the wall. A couple of years ago they renovated and made it into something classier.
I've been in for brunch since the renovation. The food is very good and more creative than what you'd find on most pubs' breakfast menus -- I think I had an eggwhite omelet with asparagus and smelly cheese. Coffee was a bit weak and service was ... very relaxed? ... even though we were the only people in the place. I'm not sure if we were being ignored or if he thought we just wanted to linger.
It seems to be a hopping joint on certain weeknights -- sometimes on a Thursday or Friday there are people out on the patio being very loud and inebriated. They sound like they're having fun.
