Extremely mediocre. From crumbly pancakes to oily eggs just everything below average. Not special.

Went on a week day and there was only one other couple seated. The service was great. The French toast were not custard, by instead just dry bread inside. That was disappointing. The hash browns hit the spot. The omelet was very good- big and had great flavor.

There were open tables but we still had to wait 15 minutes, which we used to look at the menu. As a result, it didn't take us long to order but it took the food around 40 to 45 minutes to arrive. This was one of the longest wait I had experienced for breakfast. 2 of our orders were fine but the other 2 were not great. The waffles were pretty poor and the eggs benedict were not great either–the English muffin was very thin and dry, and there was a very light coating of Hollandaise sauce. The service was not the best–our server did not check on us after we got our food; we asked 3 times for a to go box, and 3 times for a copy of the receipt. For the prices charged, the food was below standard.

This restaurant operates with a complete and shocking lack of professionalism and seems utterly disconnected from even the most basic expectations of restaurant service. It took an unbelievable 1 hour and 48 minutes to prepare two California omelettes, despite the dining room having open tables and no visible rush—yet they were still turning paying customers away.
The behavior of the staff was blatantly inappropriate. A waitress’s boyfriend walked in, was seated immediately, and the two openly made out while customers waited. His food arrived within 30 minutes, after we had already been ignored for 45 minutes. The favoritism was obvious, uncomfortable, and completely unprofessional.
The overall vibe was one of indifference, incompetence, and detachment from reality, as if no one understood—or cared—that this is a business meant to serve customers. We chose this place specifically for its gluten-free options, and while the food itself was decent and not greasy, that does not come close to justifying nearly two hours for two omelettes.
This establishment shows a total disconnect from what a restaurant is supposed to be: hospitality, efficiency, and respect for the customer. Avoid this place unless you have a personal relationship with the staff.

I had smoked salmon Benedict. The whole meal lacked any creativity. Besides the salmon it lacked such things that give it something extra, such as capers, arugula, avocado, tarragon…again plain Benedict.
It took longer than it should to be seated , for the waitress to take my order, or even pay for it ; despite the restaurant not being busy. She never checked on me and when it came to pay they present to you the electronic payment in your face, basically communicating just give me the tip and get out of here. Rushed. Personally I will not return.

Blandest food I’ve ever had, even though it had chilies.
Server couldn’t even make change correctly.
They deserve zero stars.

Mar 2025. Good breakfast at Liberty Station. Large coffee mugs are a plus. The veggie omlette with bacon (oxymoron) was great. Although I wish they put the cheese inside instead of under it. Service was kind of slow. And there was only two other people there when I arrived otherwise everything tasted great and I would recommend it.

Great food and a nice environment. The service was amazing. Not too expensive. Overall a great breakfast/brunch spot.
Maybe i caught them on a bad Saturday, Service was friendly but not overly quick. As far as the food goes portions are large but quality was far from the asking price. The toast was hard and cold butter was provided to try and spread over it. The potatoes temp was as if sitting over a chafing dish and scooped to plate. The innards of the omlettes temp was also as if they were tossed from fridge right into the cooked egg and flipped. Anyway like i said maybe caught them on a bad day. Im just a tourist what do I know.

I have been here multiple times. They have good food, but their seating policy needs to be updated or just use common sense. My party arrived and asked to be seated. But because we were wanting on one more person, they said they could not seat us, even though they had plenty of open seating available. I would understand if they were very busy and they didn't have a lot of open tables, but this was not the case. Because of this my party and I left and went somewhere else and will not be coming back because we did not feel valued as a customer.
I did even ask the server if we could sit down so we can get coffee while we wait for our last person for our party, but the disgruntled server said "no,sorry" with an attitude. So we left.
Let me know if I was wrong to leave. It just did not seem correct not to seating us with plenty of open tables.

Food is decent, but they're understaffed. One of the waitresses got in a fight with another waitress and stormed out.
