Make sure to call and make a reservation for dinner or brunch!! We came in on a Wednesday and didn't realize they host a trivia night! We didn't participate but it seemed fun. Overall liked the extensive menu but unfortunately they were out of appetizers and wine I asked for. That being said the seasonal salad was fantastic!! the service was also prompt and very friendly. Would like to go back and check out brunch

The food was delicious. I ordered the spicy burrito, and it was amazing don't get me wrong, but the service was ridiculous. We sat at the bar right in front of the guy who made all the drinks, yet we never got any refills or even asked if everything was okay. While people across us got endless refills of their mimosas. Service outweighs the quality of the food. Therefore, I will never come here again.

I don't take pictures but the steak and eggs were marvelous as well as country potatoes. We sat outside under overhang and service was exceptional. The portions were large for the price. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Definitely would recommend this restaurant and will return.

Went here for Breakfast. We came in right when they opened. It was the perfect time to go. Lots of tables available once we left around 10 am it started getting crowded. The food was really good my husband got an egg Benedict and I got a Croque Madam. Both were good. I only give this a 4 star because my meal arrived a bit cold. I ate half and took the rest home and re-warmed it up and it was really good. Otherwise everything else was great. The service was really nice. Made sure we felt comfortable once we were seated. The restaurant's design and structure had a bright vibe. Wanted to share the menu for a bit, it was great to see the cocktail menu we had a Bloody Mary Spicy and it was super spicy. We loved it!! If you are looking for a morning spicy drink you need to get one.

The food is pretty bland. The drinks are good. Service is a little lacking as well-they just did not seem to care very much.

One of my favorite brunch places in the Bay Area! They have so many classic options mixed with creative and unique options! If there is anything you have to get for brunch it's the Chilaquiles. I've been here 8 times and I almost always come back to the chilaquiles (add carnitas) because they make it with Guajillo chilies and that is so unique and sooo flavorful. The OJ is always my go to for pairing with any dish! Don't forget to try to cinnamon roll! They're huge and fluffy and you can not miss out! Service is good here because they offer great recommendations. And the overall vibe of the place is gorgeous because it's a historical building.

We had fairly good food here and it is a neat space. However, I didn't feel great about the hygiene of one member of the staff who went to the bathroom, didn't wash his hands and walked back into the kitchen! Yuck!

Most recently we had coconut shrimp tacos, sliders, wedge salad and giant pretzel. Everything very, very good! The service is excellent.

Fast, friendly, attentive service. Really delicious food. Just look at the layers in the biscuits! The fresh cinnamon rolls are perfectly sweet with just a hint of tang from the frosting. The croque madame was good, but cubano was a better fit for our meal.

There were large chunks of buttery crab in the crab omelette also enjoyed the biscuits and bacon that we shared . I'll be back for more anytime!

Came here for a casual Sunday brunch with friends, it looked pretty busy so we were glad we made a reservation! We were seated right away. The ambiance is super elegant and cute - feels like we're in a big city like NY! Already impressed. We ordered the chicken sandwich, smoked salmon benedict, chilaquiles, and pancakes. Everything was SUPER good. Seriously 5/5 food. Only reason I'm deducting a star is because of the service...the waiter we had was a bit rude to us (we told him (very nicely) that we ordered the fruit instead of the salad and he got upset and told us we were wrong). It was a bit odd, and maybe he was having an off day. I would still come back though, and recommend this place to friends. Beware of parking - come early to scope out a spot (esp on Sundays given the farmers market!)

The food at this place is pretty good. Came here one night for drinks and an appetizer. The waitress seemed more focus about a friend that came in than being attentive to their tables. I honestly was expecting a better experience from this place as I've been a few times but none have been memorable. The ambiance in this place is nice and the cocktails are pretty good!
