Excellent. Had the crab cake sandwich with fries. Tried some citrusy amber beverage that was tasty. Service was friendly and my company and I enjoyed our time here.

Very good food. I had crabmeat eggs Benedict. Good professional service. Nice atmosphere. Music not so loud that you couldn't talk over it.

This food was delicious and worth every dollar. I got the Crab Melt sandwich with fries and I wish I had been to this place sooner. 10 out of 10. Sevice was great and the atmosphere was great. We were seated immediately. Everyone enjoyed their food. You have to try it!

We always like to discover and try new places and enjoy particular or even simple but tasty dishes.
Here, as well as a beautiful location, the dishes were excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Incorrect hours.
Sat down at 11:23pm and the server is insanely rude and push because the kitchen closes at 11:30pm.
Told us they shouldn’t have seated us, the kitchen needs to close.
Very unprofessional, low class, inappropriate and it shows a clear failure of management poor leadership and management.
Or a great example of how the staff runs management.

And honestly, their food is great.
This spot would be a 10/10 hour f they had half decent management that held their staff the “basic” standards.

I tried burger with French fries and they were pretty good. My friend tried pasta carbonara and she tried just 2 times because it was horrible. So it depends what you are ordering.

Great location and warm, welcoming environment. The atmosphere was inviting and had an old school vibe. While highly touted, the onion soup was good but lacked the crunch of some bread or croutons. The crab melt however was absolutely delish as was the spinach artichoke dip. I also got their famous honey oat muffin to go and it was phenomenal. The service was fairly standard, nothing that stood out. We will def done there again and have that dip!!

Cool place with a great menu with something for everyone. Kind of a mixture of old school and new. We had the veggie burger and tuna Manhattan and both were great. Definitely get the fried pickles! The staff was very friendly and attentive.

The food is good here, the muffins are delicious. Been here a few times when I'm in town and they don't disappoint. Parking blows but that's California for you. This past week I had the reinvented crab sandwich and bran muffin. Crab was sweet and juicy, the aioli was the icing on the cake! Get the bran muffin you won't regret it. I like that they provide coffee and mini muffins when there's a long wait.
