Best breakfast. They make a cream of wheat that comes with every breakfast (fruit option available too) and it is DELICIOUS. Beautiful outdoor seating, great prices.

They do all sorts of live comedy and stage shows. There's a bar inside as well but SKIP it and pop right next door to Saloon - another speakeasy with a killer whiskey selection. Try the fried pickles!
