Excellent! We were 5 diners on a Thursday night. The options for a main course were so interesting that we each picked a different dish. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Not easy for any restaurant. Our suggestion is that a better wine list be offered to complement the excellent food. Cheers to the chef and our wonderful waiter. We will be back to check out breakfast/brunch. Thank you!

Hash browns were dry, 1 of the 2 over medium egg yolks were broken and fully cooked hard. Pancake was cold and served on a cold plate, that the butter could not melt on it.
