The Boss, had been twice with friends and really liked it. We went today with a group of four. The wait was short, about 10-12 mins.. As others have noted the menu is very large.
All in our group loved the food. I really liked the corned beef hash. Very different, shreaded real corned beef and large chunks of red potatoes. We all had some form of eggs. Fried, Scrambled and Benedict. All cooked as ordered.
I loved the pictures and history on the walls and the staff was attentive and professional. They even have a post card from Lake Shore Park
That alone had me hooked..
I did take a peek at the half tables and I agree I don't think I'd like to eat a one. I don't really like to "hurry" when I go out for a meal, so the slightly slower pace of service was not a problem for me.
Overall I would rate it very good.
