* Comments of Decor -- It is in a slightly odd shaped building so it is an odd shaped room.  Nice tall ceilings and big windows, with tables nicely spaced --not crowded.  The table tops are covered in copper; there is a grand piano in the room and a pool room is attached via an open door at one end.  The morning we were there we saw people with children enjoying breakfast, reading the paper while their little children walked around visiting tables. It was really quite nice--and had the feel of an authentic community gathering place.
* The Food Was --superior--of note in our group was the Spinach Scramble, comments were that they were "dynamite' and 'the best eggs ever' --and since we go out a lot that suggests they must have been mighty good.  Also we gave rave reviews to the 'nice layered' french toast and the pesto scramble.  Coffee was also on the mark.
* You Ought to Try -- the eggs
* The Service Was --efficient and friendly

* Of special note: we were wowed by the eggs
* We will go back?  sure thing
