OverEasy cooks up good ol’ American fare by the waterfront, so expect to indulge in all kinds of classic dishes ranging from pancakes and mac & cheese to burgers and buffalo wings. Decadent milkshakes, root beer floats, and American-style cocktails are also on the menu to wash it all down.

The restaurant’s decor is essentially a modern spin on the classic American diner, drawing inspiration from the vibrant ‘60s and ‘70s. So the place is completed in swanky vintage furnishings like red checkerboard floors, turquoise diner booth seats, cheeky neon signs, and old-school arcade machines.
