It's an older casual style restaurant with comfy booths offering some privacy and attentive table service. The restaurant is impeccably maintained, and my breakfast with coffee was excellent with very generous portions. If you are interested in a nice quiet restaurant to have conversations with good food at just about anytime of the day, good service, and very clean, then, this is it for you. Prices are reasonable.

NORDSTROM RACK From…read morethe scattered reviews I read, I decided to stop at Nordstrom Rack. I was only three miles from their Brandon store and in need of a few men's shirts and dress pants. I was aware that Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of the luxury department store chain, Nordstrom. I went there not expecting Walmart or other merchants prices. I found the men's shirts and pants racks and found several items that were the color and size I was looking for. A shirt that listed at $198.98 was on sale reduced 68% to a mere $74.96.
