5 /5 Marc Milrod: Only one visit, and that on a Sunday morning for Breakfast. The parking lot showed the place to be fairly full, about half having plates as we sat at the counter. No one working here seems under 40, and they move with the grace of a ballet. Old school mugs, plates, flatware... To me, this means they planned well, and I am not spending much money on "ambiance." Looks like they got good ingredients, too. The coffee is nice, no dry thing to showcase the food, nor bold or charred enough to be its own statement.
The kitchen staff kept turning out plates at an impressive pace.
Glad I saw pancakes go out. No reason a human needs 3 of these (OK, maybea teenager), not quite light, very fluffy and toothsome platters. Also glad the server asked my wife if she wanted 2 or 3 slices of French Toast.
A 4 pack of old growlers, 2 beards, all grey hairs in hats, chatting freely left before we did. Smaller families populated the 4 tops. Prices might be a bit high locally, but for our routine urban digs, this was cheap.
I have to mention the pie case. It can probably hold 70 pies or more. No doubt also a throwback, as I cant see that much going out in a week. But they all looked good, and I wish I had room for a slice, or a pie.
Clean, not worn. Retro, not dated.
I wish there was one of these where I didnt need a ferry ride to get there.
