What a beautiful view this place has. Sitting outside and being able to see the mountains...you just can’t beat the view, which is really the main reason to go here. Their menu is very limited. While they offer some unique dishes for breakfast, I’m surprised they don’t offer at least one generic staple (like an all-American breakfast, as they have all of the items for one) or waffles or pancakes (even crepes if they wanted to stay in the more unique lane). I would’ve given 5 stars if the menu was just a bit more versatile. However, my avocado toast was great. Fresh sourdough toast and delicious bacon.

Nice way to spend summer afternoon. The collections include many historical artifacts from different periods. The local guides filled in the background detail on the collection not included in the signage. The only downside is the big hill. Since it was a free Friday parking was at the top only. They did have one golf cart to help folks from the bottom of the Hill back to the top. However I did not take the ride (of shame) as the capacity was very limited.
