Large menu, generous portions, very affordable prices, friendly staff. There are more refined options around but the quality of the food was great and matched expectations for this type of family dining. The location has been around for more than 45 years but of course it's changed owners several times.

I'm a big fan of this place. It's a cafe by day and a bar by night. Not that you can't get…read morealcoholic beverages in the daytime.

At night, most of the tables and chairs are stacked together to make room for the bar area and some open space for dancing, if you so please. It gets surprisingly crowded for what is normally a cafe (by day, anyway), so it's pretty cool to watch the transition.
