    Had a reservation for breakfast here on a Monday. The ambience was great with well placed partitions and each space was separated nicely where the conversations from other guests didn’t pour over to your table. And with the breakfast meal they served real potatoes cut and fried, not the cheap pre-sliced potato cubes frozen from a bag. Overall it was a good experience I would like to go back and check out the dinner/evening vibe.
