    It was our anniversary and our server Lily made it very special for us. She was sweet, personable and ended our night with a personalized dessert that even included how many years we have been married, 33!

    Delicious food made from scratch - love it! The brunch has tons of options - there are even single dishes that are part of the buffet that you can order to the table - for example - I had a very yummy chia seed pudding with fresh peanut butter and berries. No-el did an awesome job as our professional customer service ambassador!

    This was only my 2nd visit, but my wife has been 4 times. We dined there for Valentine’s Day. It was full, but everything was running smoothly. We liked everything! We got the bread basket, tuna tartare/cucumber appetizer and the arugula salad with butternut squash. All were excellent! The amount of dressing was perfect and let the tastes of the squash, pomegranate and other yummy bits come through! We both had the Moist Brisket entrees with 4 different sides. Everything was good. At first I thought the brisket was too salty, but realized it was licking up the juice from the pickles cucumber and onion garnish. Separately, they were great, but the saltiness detracted the flavor of my first piece of brisket. The rest were not affected. We were stuffed and brought most of the sides home. I’d also add that the Arnold Palmer I ordered was also excellent and had an impressive presentation and clearly separate portions of tea and lemonade.

    Our food was delicious, fresh, generous portions. We had roasted half chicken and avocado toast. We both asked for substitutions/add-ons which were accommodated. I was offered an alternative add-on because the one I initially requested was seasonal. Drinks and desserts were also good regarding taste and serving size. Our waiter was very pleasant and regularly checked on us without being intrusive. The manager also stopped by our table and other customers to check that everything was ok. It’s a diner, so noise levels are what one might expect, but we could easily converse without raising our voices. It has a retro diner vibe with posters/photos/vinyl of iconic performers at Carnegie Hall (original diner in New York is near the concert hall). It’s becoming a favorite neighborhood spot so it’s always busy and the one negative is that parking in this popular local shopping center is relatively limited so it can be hard to find a space during peak hours.
