Feb 08, 2026"Great food in the city center. This restaurant is interested because it is like good diner food next to a bunch of fancy restaurants here. The decor here is very almost like you did it yourself. I got the fish filet and it was delicious. The hamburger was like a diner hamburger. The staff here is very attentive. We had 2 or 3 waiters. Nothing was left unattended. I would come back for a quick meal."
