Terrific location and vibe, beautiful upgrade/updates to the facility by the prior owner, and now run by a team that gives great service and provides a great experience. Our whole community is glad that this location has re-opened, and that the new owner/team is offering such a great place for brunch, drinks, food and socializing.
I heard Joe talking about his new restaurant and it got me intrigued to try it out. Everything he described was true and more, this is a welcome addition to the Castro. Everything from the service, to the menu, and to the experience, was great. Our server David gave us a great menu overview. I really enjoyed the reverse happy hour and the great cocktail and wine selection. This restaurant has original ideas that have very strong staying power in the neighborhood.
Had a lovely time have a very yummy brunch! They did just open and we’re getting settled in but had the breakfast burrito with a side salad a tater totes. It did take a little time for the meal to arrive but I wasn’t in a hurry and enjoyed the moment to decompress and enjoy the ambiance. It was nice and sunny. My host was also super lovely and checked in from time to time.
Absolutely hope they stay and revive the little corner! It’s always a fav spot to...read full review
