great for experiences. there are a number of items on the menu that i've had over the past two years since i started making this a regular stop. my favourite is the farmers' benedict that is served on weekends and holidays. for diner fare, the food is decent albeit at a bit of a premium.
perhaps the most outstanding feature of the place is the staff. you can expect to see the same staff there on each visit, which to me means that they are happy. and, if the owner's public appearances are any indication of how he operates behind closed doors, my guess is that he treats them well.
if you like to watch local colour, this place is fun late at night or early in the morning.
the only drawback is that the washrooms are terrible and need a significant overhaul.
