“The food was delicious but the service from our waiter Robin was amazing.”

My visit to Cross Bay Diner was overall okay, but there were several areas that could be improved. The breakfast was average. The sausage tasted stale, the egg portion was quite small, and the pancakes were a bit tough to cut through. The French toast was good and was probably the highlight of the meal.
