They serve great Eggs Benedict here! With bacon, smoked trout, crab or lobster! I also really enjoyed my bowl of dark hot chocolate. They have lots of options for breakfast and drink, including juices and smoothies. Service is friendly and even though it was a busy day last time I was there with friends, they never made us feel rushed. Very popular place, especially on weekends!
