First and foremost the people working here are SO incredibly nice. They are very sweet and attentive. I didn’t get a picture of it because I was just too hungry but I got the eggs, turkey bacon, home fries and toast. It was very good. They also have a buffet, and it looked pretty good too. Muito obrigado to them.
