    That lobster Benedict at The Perfect Landing is on another level. And watching the planes is a bonus. Highly recommend.

    Went to Snooze last month. Creative food, but we waited almost an hour. Get there early if you hate lines!

    ViewHouse is a cool spot for groups, but it's too much on regular weekends for us. I like the more low-key vibe at Doug's or First Watch.

      That’s a great point, the more relaxed setting at Doug’s Diner or First Watch is ideal for low-key mornings, while ViewHouse shines when you want something a bit more festive.

    First Watch can get busy on the weekends but their fresh juices make it worth the wait. Avocado toast is pretty solid too.

      We hear you, weekend waits can be long, but First Watch’s fresh juices and satisfying avocado toast are always a hit!

    Doug's Diner has my favorite breakfast burrito in town, hands down. Always hits the spot and you get a ton of food.

    $45 for a brunch buffet at ViewHouse is wild. Is it really worth the price? Curious what folks think.

      It’s definitely a splurge, but the ViewHouse brunch buffet offers a big variety, from seafood towers to sushi and carving stations, perfect for a special occasion or group outing.

    We love Snooze but always forget about the online waitlist. Thanks for the reminder! Pancake flight is the way to go.

      Glad the online waitlist tip was helpful, and we absolutely agree, the pancake flight at Snooze is a must-try!
