This restaurant is a stunner and the service harken back to another era where the servers honestly care about you. The diner fare is well-above memory with ridiculously crisp hash browns, eggs just the way you like, and these things called Hi-Tops. It's like a doughnut with the hole still intact and served with all kinds of decadent sweet and savory toppings.
