    Food and service were both amazing. The LMT scramble is enough for 2 people to share. The Dutch baby apple pancake was perfect — not too sweet.

    Great local restaurant, nice friendly staff. However I was a little embarrassed with rodents making appearances frequently. Especially since I picked this restaurant as first date.
