ReviewThis is an excellent diner to stop in for a bite, when you are too lazy too cook. They also have a pretty good breakfast menu. It's a regular place to go for many local people and they've been in business for over 20 years. Certainly not a fancy place, it's a great stand-by, with a classic diner feel. Can be crowded on weekends at breakfast and during the week at around 5PM, but there is adequate seating and the waitstaff is experienced in dealing with the rushes.

Ordera ton of appetizers
ReviewThe service here was so personal and wonderful. The owner cam and chatted with us. They were attentive without being overbearing, and even -insisted- that we have the Turkish coffee, despite the fact that it was far past closing time after we finished our meal. The BYOB service was also excellent. We just had a bunch of appetizers, which were great. I did not care for the lamb pizza, but another member of our party relished it! I cannt speak for the entrees, but my guess is that they have to be as good as the appetizers! This place is small and not suited for a large group, but it's a great place for a get together with friends or a romantic dinner for two. They are also open late, which is a big plus in the finer food area.
