Went there based on reviews. The service was excellent and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We had blueberry pancakes, french toast and an omelet. We all agreed that we've had better for less money. A little pricey. Would not go back again. more

Just like the one in Monterey, but without the outdoor dining and a more old timey feel. Reliably good and with good sized portions. For the pancake adventurers the raspberry coconut granola pancakes are fun, but consider asking for chocolate chip and bacon, fun to share one with a group. more
