TLDR
A nostalgic 80s-style 'time warp' that serves as a legendary power-lunch hub for media professionals.
Details
Known for its distinctive 'time-warp' 80s aesthetic, this spot remains a cornerstone for the city's media and business elite [1], [2]. While it serves as a nostalgic backdrop for power breakfasts and lunches, the culinary experience is often described as mediocre by some patrons [3]. The establishment maintains a calm and friendly morning atmosphere suitable for a standard breakfast [4].
Caveats
Potential visitors should be aware of the high price point [3] and the view held by some that the food does not match the establishment's prestige [3].
