We were definitely pleasantly surprised with this one, and not just because it was a warm, inviting change to the miserable outdoors.

In the style of days gone by, the place had a kind of charm to it with cosy booths, an old-fashioned bar and waiters that dressed the part. I could almost imagine a 1950's Archie, Betty and Veronica sipping milkshakes by the counter.There was a pretty good selection of typical diner fare on the menu - burgers, sandwiches, omelettes and of course, milk shakes.
The Monte Cristo Sandwich - chicken, ham and cheese sandwiched between two slices of French toast, served with bananas and blueberries in syrup. As always, I went with what I thought was the most interesting combination. It proved to be quite a good choice - a bit like having breakfast and lunch at the same time.
Qiu Jhin's Calamity Jane Omelette - the never-fail sausage, pepper and cheese combo with a side of toast.Prices are slightly higher than what we're used to but for a once-in-awhile treat after a day of shopping, it's well worth a visit.
