Was Molly McCaughey at Grubstake a mag?
Great place. They serve breakfast but they don't open til 6pm. A couple vegetarian options. A few times we have gone and they don't have everything that's on the menu.

A great place for a late night dinner or snack. Portions are very large so plan to take home half of your meal. Friendly service, large glasses of wine, a real bargain for very good food.

Such a cute restaurant and open late enough for me to come by after work. Delicious party melt with bacon. 10/10.
