Eat the calzone. It’s crowded and parking sucks but worth it.

Skip this place if you're looking for a good happy hour. They only offer specials if you're seated AT the bar (not even in the bar area) and the bar holds less than 15 people, so it's always full.

Go to Open City and get a soy chai. Dunk the animal crackers in the chai before eating! For dinner, try the Fresh Pie pizza or the Mussels with red sauce.

Monday night and we ate outside. I got the burger/draft beer Monday night special for $12--not bad. However the service was painfully slow. It took forever to even get my beer (a good 5 min at least).

The Open City (N)OMELET is the way to go, folks. Hashbrowns and bacon INSIDE? Yes.

Some of the best Americano and Cappuccino in the city.
Tirdad KiamaneshMay 27, 2017
I do not recommend it, menu was not interesting. The staff were not friendly and the service was poor. Cafe was not fresh.with that price, Omni hotel has a great buffet with 25$ an lots of options.

Very generous portions and love their spin on a House Salad with artichokes and dried cranberries!

Ask for the gluten free menu. So many great options. But avoid the bun/bread-less stuff.

Great coffee and omelettes!

If you want to get seated, bring 7 babies with you, otherwise they will ignore you. Parties of two have to wait at least an hour for brunch (idea for future: invest in fake strollers).
Laura LandwirthApril 22, 2012
Great and fast counter service on Sunday am if you can snag a seat.
