For an establishment with the reputation of News Cafe, this branch was disappointing. The service was insanely slow, even though the place was only about 25% full. I ordered their Traditional Breakfast, but it arrived without the advertised Bacon. My Waitron dashed off before I could bring this to her attention. I waited to see if she came back but she didn't, so I ate it without the Bacon. When she collected my plate, I mentioned that there was no Bacon.

The staff is always friendly and attentive from the moment you intend stepping into the restaurant. The food has been very good and they listen to any specific needs even if they alter the dish a bit. The only negetive I can talk about is the a bit below par bathroom cleaniliness , if they can get this right the experience could be even greater. Overall it is a worthy stop over spot in the ever busy montrose garage. And for alchohol lovers Yes wine, whiskey, and the sorts are...
