MY FAVORITE SPOT. You cannot beat the brunch special here, which includes two drinks and a coffee or hot chocolate. Expect to wait 30-45 mins if you arrive on the weekend after 12:30pm. Dinner is also exceptional. Week nights they offer a happy hour that includes oysters. Open 24 hours. Not your traditional diner!
