Probably one of the better diners on Long Island. Between the service and the quality of the food for the price will exceed your expectations for a diner and set the bar higher. Get the pork chops for the value and their pumpkin pie cheesecake is probably the best I've had.

A lovely spot for a birthday brunch, especially if you enjoy generous portions. Lots of options and deserts too 😋. All five of us loved our meal. Especially recommend the crab cake Benedict, the best I’ve had in NYC! Staff was nice and made sure we were well taken care of too :).
