We went Carnegie Diner and Cafe for brunch. While a reservation wasn’t necessary it was helpful to book through Open Table to see the reviews and menu. We were seated right away and the restaurant was great! They had a variety of menu of items to choose from, the latte was delicious and the food really good. We enjoyed it!
