    The food was decent and the atmosphere was lively, but nothing really stood out. Service was good, and the staff were friendly.

    We went brunch and tried egg and steak as well as mocha French toast. We chose poached eggs, lovely shape with flowing yolk. Steak is tender and chewing. my mom took it well even with her dentures. Sauce on top is very tasty. We love it. French toast was soft and sweet but I felt a bit heavy after finishing one piece. Service was nice and attentive. I am already planning a dinner soon.
