They have taken the classics and kicked them up several notches. The place is always packed and the food and service is why. I spent 15 years in high end restaurants and always paid attention to details. They come from the same school. I live in California but when I come to Portland, which I do often, I will drive all the way to Albany for breakfast. I can't say enough about this place. Diners, Drive-In's and Dives needs to hear about this place.

Goes the extra mile to prepare and use ingredients totally healthfully. Makes competition on price difficult. Read the front of the menu.

The food is consistently excellent. I eat there daily and have since it opened. This is the best breakfast I have found in ten years of eating breakfast out.

My wife and I first visited this restaurant two years ago. We've been back a half dozen times since then and recommend it to all of our friends. We prefer the omelettes because the ingredients are all fresh, not frozen.

Go early (before 8 a.m.) if you want to avoid waiting for a booth to open.

The food is quite good. The freshness and quality of the stuff is very high. My biggest problem is the cost is also quite high. I suppose there's an argument for quality costs but I can't eat there often 'cause if I did my wallet would be lighter by a long way.

I thought this might be a good restaurant, but I was not impressed. Maybe I should try again and have something different. Rather expensive. Not a very good value, the waitresses were good, the food was okay and the coffee was good, and the juice was real good, but overall, I probably would give this a 6 out of 10.

Serves breakfast only. Great food and very good and responsive service. Closes in mid afternoon so don't be late.
