If Google allowed six stars, I wanted to give them six.

Big portions, quality ingredients, excellent coffee and genuinely friendly service. That is my definition of a healthy breakfast worth getting excited about.

A prosciutto, Gruyère and basil omelet. A maple-syrup-bacon pancake. Real shredded hash browns. Five-star coffee. And service that stayed pleasant and accommodating even with the room packed.

Very little. The hash browns were a wee bit oily for my taste, and on our second visit the eggs were a little drier and cooler — on a morning that was twice as busy.

Allow plenty of time on weekends. It gets packed, and parking can become a challenge as the morning progresses.
