Tried the pizza this time (it was very good), but the make-up of the menu indicated a quality place not just serving the "same old thing." The service was prompt & attentive. The vibe was appreciated.UpvoteDownvote

marjolijn kamphuisJuly 20, 2013Nice place, apparently they've been around since 1960 and the place has got a bit of a cool American diner vibe. Pizzas are pretty ok if you're up for a quick bite after a long day of sight seeing.
