    Pleasant service and atmosphere. The chili omelet wasn't as hot or spicy as I might have liked, however, many people in my region cannot eat hot or spicy foods. This gets a pass.

    Brought my son's after their preschool graduation and the waitress was just AMAZING. She congratulated them and made such a big deal about it making them feel amazing. She regularly checked in on us and refilled our coffee and drinks. The food was wonderful and we'll definitely be going back soon
