Nice clean and quiet place. Delicious food. Green omelet is amazing!

The food came out before the drinks. They had to take our drink order two times. I ordered the burger and it was very dry. Food did not have a strong flavor.

The staff was courteous and friendly. I ate breakfast there almost everyday while traveling on business. The ambiance and dinning settings adds to the experience.

Really bad service for how much we paid. Go eat somewhere on Cal Ave instead of here.

Delicious breakfast conveniently located right downstairs in the Citrine hotel. Server was very friendly and food came out quickly after I ordered. I recommend the custard dipped challah French toast.

Super inflated prices, and the food options were pretty meh. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it came with 5 shrimp for $36. They were cooked perfectly and tasted good, but for an entree there was nothing else to complement the meal besides bread. It was more like an appetizer than an entree. The staff were very attentive and friendly. My drinks, although pricy at $20 each (a mere $2 mark up from the $18 mocktails), were delicious.

The beet salad I ordered for lunch was delicious, but small, and it was expensive. The restaurant does not provide bread. My friend ordered the same salad with a side of French fries. Had it not been for the fries, the meal would not have been satisfying.

This was my fourth trip back to wild onion, and the quality of the experience is consistently terrific. Staff could not be nicer and more accommodating, food is yummy and interesting with choices that make even brunch more exciting. The Bloody Mary was divine. I've gone there for lunch meetings, because the noise level is low enough that you can hear each other comfortably, and while it's an open layout, I never feel a lack of privacy. And the free valet parking, may they never discontinue that, makes it so easy to get in on time, and be stress-free. I like that the mood is casual enough that I don't feel I need to get dressy, but stylish enough that I make an effort. If you go for brunch, definitely get the Nueske's bacon, it's the best America produces and it's hard to get here in California. Bon appetit!

Service was prompt and friendly, but the food far surpassed my expectations. The carnitas eggs benedict was fantastic and hit the spot for a late breakfast. The Avocado toast was generous and loaded with goodies
Delightfully surprised.

The food at wild onion is absolutely outstanding, and a very reasonable price for the quality and quantity you get. Met a couple girlfriends there for brunch, and we managed to try several different things on the menu; the chef was kind enough to cut things in the kitchen for us into sharing pieces, and our wait staff was very helpful and gracious. It was a little cool to sit outside by the pool, so they moved us into an inside table, and we really enjoyed our time there, not feeling rushed. Highly recommend checking it out!

Good food and service, but limited drink selection. Hard to give 5 stars to a place without soft drink refills, but if you don't care about that, it's a great little place, especially for a hotel based restaurant.

It's nestled to the lobby of Citrine hotel. The food is good. I'd say better and less greasy than most brunch places. The price point is a bit on the spendy side but not overly so. You pay a little more for quality. Coffee is made to order freshly ground beans and not mass produced while it sits in a pot.
