Adorable place with wonderful food. Back patio can be romantic if the occasion calls for that. Or it's just darn charming if the occasion doesn't. You probably need to call reserve ahead of time.

Legendary breakfast. If you don't have leftovers, you ate like ten men or you shared with everyone. You will wait a LONG time if you on a weekend. Try sister restaurant Tractor Room, dark but delish.
