But I did notice a high turn over with the staff and a couple of meny that would camp out at the front that felt more like bouncers than welcoming hosts. Doesn't stop me from coming here of course. Today was my first day back in quite awhile and I was impressed with what feels like a freshness in the approach to management as well as a useful allocation of funds for the $15 omelet we have been purchasing long before pandemic prices. Lucky for us that price has also stayed steady after the pandemic. Walking in I was greeted by two young(er) people behind the counter with warmth and a cohesive vibe between them. By the way I don't pretend my opinion matters, I just have to wait for several hours til my car is ready at the mechanics and I have loads of time to write this. They were gracious enough to explain they were dog friendly and suggested several spots that my small pit mix and I could get comfortable. We chose the backyard, the main selling feature for me coming here to camp out, and it was such a fresh delight. They have manicured the space down to every square inch. The large tables have not been replaced but they have bought a few new chairs and cushions. They removed some of the more overgrown foliage and the space just feels brighter and cleaner. The bathrooms have also been repainted and new art has been added, but the lighting is still too dark. If they could add a light above the mirror or a multi light fixture above and use yellow LED’s this could improve the bathroom experience greatly. All and all I am very happy they are still in business, still serving delicious, health breakfast, and improving their space for us to enjoy. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $20–30
