* Comments about Decor-- nice serve yourself coffee while you wait --indoor and outdoor seating--not real comfy and a little crowded --but nobody was hurt getting in and out of the place.
* The Food Was --exceptionally good overall, and the presentation was downright pretty.
* You Ought to Try --the biscuits are yummy but then so are the Potato Pancakes. Most everything they serve has merit.  Of note from the menu are: The Goat Boy Scramble --with marinated Portobello mushrooms and feta cheese; The Pesto Veggie Scramble got a big thumbs up; The How Latin is a sure bet to give you a little thrill with its extra dash of spice.   The only let down was the Sweet Potato French Toast, it sounded like a good idea but turned out to be boring.
* The Service Was -- generally friendly, efficient, sometimes a little overwhelmed by so very many customers, be sure you tell the server what you want the first time around--s/he probably won't be back to your table after dropping off the food.
* Of special note --you generally will have to wait for a table and you can get cold waiting outside on a wintry day
* We will go back? oh yes--indeed we will go back
