Category: Diner The first thing you see upon entering this very popular local haunt only a couple of blocks from the main drag are red leather booths, the black and white tiled floor, and the visible part of the kitchen. To the left is the largish dining room with booths, banquettes, and tables, mirrors along the long wall, and a high ceiling with mementos. The dining rooms are comfortable and homey, and would be good places to dine on a cooler day. The overall feel is of an upscale diner of yesteryear, where we would be regulars if we lived nearby. But if the weather is good, as it was when we visited, outside is where you want to be. The umbrellaed patio with rustic fence and overflowing flower boxes offers many tables, including a large double firepit table for a small group, and a lucky potbellied buddha sheltered by an old tree. There are also a few tables on the sidewalk outside the fence. The menu offers all of the usual suspects of breakfast and lunch diner fare with some South of the Border choices. My BLT was excellent and well balanced with equal amounts of B, L, and T. My four friends loved their dishes as well. Everything was well-prepared and well-presented, the service was excellent, and the setting was superb. YouTube's Chef's Apprentice
