    Great experience overall: food, ambience, service. Only disappointing thing was that maple syrup was listed on the pancake menu, but fake maple w high fructose corn syrup was served.

    We like this place and have been coming here for quite some time. But today I noticed an upcharge of $2.00 on my bill for my breakfast entree (Breakfast Denver Omelet meal) for having an English Muffin! What???? It has long been standard in the business to have your choice of toast or English Muffin as part of your meal. I'm getting at the end of my rope however with business finding new ways all the time to nickel and dime us to death and take more money out of my pocket and thinking we won't notice! Welllll, I noticed........STOP IT!!!!
