"Occupying the former Grand Cafe space with 194 seats and a full-service bar, this 24-hour comfort-food restaurant serves breakfast through dinner with both traditional and inventive dishes. Mornings feature classics—omelets, Eggs Benedict, hashes, chicken-fried steak, ham chops and eggs, pancakes, waffles and French toast—alongside twisty options like miso crab or chicken-enchilada omelets, peach cobbler pancakes, waffle-pressed doughnuts and funnel cake French toast; healthier offerings include a vegan loco moco and chia seed pudding. Lunch and dinner highlight shareable and global-leaning plates such as Cuban fries with mojo pork, a ham-and-Swiss fondue, a mezze board, crab Rangoon–topped flatbreads, a panini grilled cheese and a muffaletta, plus burgers (French onion and surf-and-turf) and entrees like New York steak frites, barbecue meatballs over mac and cheese, meatloaf, hearth-oven brick chicken and fish and chips. The beverage program ranges from bloody Marys and Champagne cocktails to boozy and nonalcoholic shakes (including a matcha shake with vodka and white chocolate liqueur and a chocolate-peanut-butter-banana shake with banana whiskey), fresh-pressed juices such as a Detox blend, and nitro cold brews and teas. Desserts and a pastry shop round out the offering with a self-serve soft-serve station, chocolate-dipped homemade waffle cones, massive chocolate-covered apples, a salted caramel brownie parfait, red velvet cake, muffins, cookies, macaroons and doughnuts." - Susan Stapleton
