    Your coat check attendant, Colleen, was the highlight of our visit. Very sweet and complimentary. The table was very nice, our waiter was adequate, and the food was good, but no better than a local diner for 1/2 the price. I would like to return when the weather is nicer so we can sit outside. I definitely would not do the brunch menu again.
