    The food here is absolutely amazing, granted it could use a little more seasoning. But, being from the southeast, I’m used to a different style of food. My server, Roscio (I apologize if I misspelled that) was amazing and provided swift and professional service that still felt personal.

    The potato pancakes tasted "off", so I didn't eat them. Eggs, gravy, biscuit were ok. The wait staff were excellent!!

    Great food and excellent service! Ordered a cappuccino ($5) and the stuffed French toast special with eggs and sausage ($15). Portions were big and food was delicious. Got a philly cheese to go (for later $16.50) Everything arrived quickly. As a tourist from the East Coast, food prices in South Lake Tahoe are astounding, but the price for the quality/portion here was fair and comparable to back home. Would return, would recommend.

    We had breakfast here and tried the French toast and omelets. The food was decent, with generous portions, and the restaurant seemed quite popular when we visited.
