I was in town for a conference and randomly stopped by. I’m so glad I did. The food was great and the servers were super friendly. One of the servers asked where I’m from, and when I said Taiwan, she got so excited and told me the owner is also from Taiwan and had been in earlier. Such a sweet and unexpected moment. Really loved the warm atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

The steak and eggs was as expected, really good. The steak was perfectly cooked! Not a fan of the hash potato but eh, it was quite good. My wife had the platter and it was super good. We shared the french toast and it’s possible it was the best we had. The only downside was the coffee: it was a bit dripping on the side and even though it was a flat white it felt very.. disappointing and watery.

Very enjoyable experience. The French toast with Nutella is a must try. The steak and eggs is flavorful and the quality of the steak is good, much higher grade than expected for a diner. The coffee lives up to its reputation as strong but smooth.
