Great Breakfast, 30 May 2011
Reviewer: anonymous (Adventurousness: I'll order it as per the menu.)

Comments: A great breakfast spot for winter. Arrived in the rain, we were handed an umbrella buy the car guards to use to walk to the restaurant. Excellent service from the waiters and the food was very good and my wife’s judge of a good breakfast, warm toast. Well worth it, we will be back.
