In my rating scheme, I must be willing to take a 30+ min detour just to go, and that would be a tad too much to ask. If in the area, a good pick though, especially if the sun is out and you can enjoy breakfast in the sun.

It took a long time to get service, despite the place only being half full. When I received my…read moremeal, the salad was not fresh and contained a dead fly. When it came time to pay the bill the server was nowhere in sight for around d 30 minutes. Overall a disappointing experience.
