“Came here for a USA Diner experience. Read good review about this place. Truly good. Waiter and waitresses are cheerful and attentive. Checking back with you, to check on how is the food after it’s being served, and if anything else is needed. Food is indeed good, flavourful. Showed the waitress a photo of something which I will like to try. Told me that it’s no longer on the menu and ‘counter suggest’ something similar. Thumbs up for great services provided :)”
