Antique Row Cafe   

The quaintness of Antique Row Cafe is derived from an accumulation of, well, antiques. Everywhere, there are pictorial and material reminders of days gone past. Photos of famous actors, sports stars and musicians of yesteryear; memorabilia; antique toys and just the overall feeling of an old roadside diner gets people out of their wireless, techno lifestyles and eased into a relaxing meal of classic American fare. "The Row" is a popular breakfast stop, especially on weekends, when you should be ready for a wait. All the traditional breakfast favorites, such as Denver omelets, are on the menu, as well as some fun alterations like cinnamon apple pancakes. There are also some vegetarian dishes to appease the progressive San Diegan crowd. Vegetable scramblers (or tofu scramblers for the ovo-objector) are healthy delights. Although the restaurant has a bit of a diner feeling, the quality is a nice couple steps up from any greasy spoon. Portions are large, well-prepared and well-presented.
