THE BURGER! OMG!!! The bartender forgot to ask me how I wanted it cooked so it was too rare, but dang was it delish. Even after I microwaved it a bit at home.

Great brunch spot! We were staying a few blocks away and was recommended this place for breakfast. Lots of options, and really relaxed atmosphere.

Pancakes and mimosas were great! This is one of my favorite brunch spots.

We went for dinner at this place before all the restaurants shut down. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and as it was still an early evening on Monday, not yet busy in the inside.

We went for dinner at this place before all the restaurants shut down. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and as it was still an early evening on Monday, not yet busy in the inside. We decided some cocktails after we heard they infuse their own flavor to syrup and alcohol, and that their cocktails are all made from scratch! We had Lavender Mill, and A Pear to Remember. They were both really tasty! They really know how to make creative, strong, and delicious cocktails! We ordered some appetizers: Fried Pickles, Roasted Whole Sardines, and Chicken Pot Pie. They all great, but I was most excited about Roasted Whole Sardines. It looked wonderful, and it tasted as good as it looked! Sardines were so tender and juicy, falls off the bones! Delicious! Pickles were really nice too, and the Pot Pie was packed with flavor, one awesome pot pie! For main, we had Manchego & Prosciutto Burger, and Fennel Seed Crusted Tuna Steak. The burger bigger than I expected, and it was soooo good! It was like a symphony of all the ingredients, producing a melody of balanced, sophisticated, and totally satisfying flavor. Tuna Steak was HUGE! It looked like a giant piece of thick-cut steak! The bed of eggplants and other ingredients were super tasty, they certainly did not take side stage! All the ingredients were very fresh, filling and satisfying. We also ordered Herb Gruyere Biscuits + Honey Butter, since I was curious about their biscuit. It was warm, soft, heavy, and came with amazing aroma! It was sooo wonderfully buttery, dense yet light and airy. I LOVED it! Needless to say, we had a great dinner here. All the staffs here were friendly, polite, and courteous. They took a really nice care of us. We enjoyed every bite of every item we had!

We came to this spot for a meeting. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. we were warmly welcomed by the staff members and we had a great feeling. The meal was yummy. We loved this restaurant a lot and we shall absolutely come back again. Keep it up.

The ambiance is really nice, and food was good. I had the vegetarian bowl and added salmon. It was well done. The customer service could use some improvements. Otherwise, it's a good spot for lunch or dinner.

The scrambled eggs here are cooked to perfection, so fluffy and delicious. The coffee is a bit weak and the cappuccino tasted more like warm milk, but the food was great and the portions are generous. The sausage in the breakfast skillet had a nice kick to it, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - all the flavors married well. We added smoked salmon to the avocado toast, without it the toast would have been very basic. The chicken and waffle sammie was a hit with the table. The atmosphere was pleasant, however some of the staff was rude and seemed irritated when we asked questions about the menu - our waitress in particular seemed very stressed out and uninterested in actually waiting on us, so that was unfortunate...

We came here on a Sunday for brunch around noon. We did make a reservation, and I recommend making a reservation if you plan on eating brunch here on the weekend. The restaurant is tightly packed. The ambiance is average. We ordered the Bodega Sammie ($17), which comes with fries. The best part of this sandwich is that it is on focaccia bread. It is better than your average BEC. The fries are thin cut. We also ordered the French Toast ($14), served with pecans and bananas and a great whipped cream. Overall, this is a good place to grab brunch, but nothing amazing. You will find your average brunch items here.

I've eaten here a few times. It has been primarily 5 star experiences with above average food (pancakes & burger & biscuits), service, and vibes for a restaurant in this part of the city - but I do not plan on returning.
I've eaten here a few times. It has been primarily 5 star experiences with above average food (pancakes & burger & biscuits), service, and vibes for a restaurant in this part of the city - but I do not plan on returning. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you eat towards the front of the restaurant on the stools or at the bar to get the quality vibe this place offers, but DO NOT sit in the back (unless you're a large group) or else you will not get good service-perhaps this will change after leaving this review. After getting semi politely kicked out of the table due to the traffic which is awkward especially after leaving a tip, I went to the bar to grab coffee as I couldn't finish my bottomless cup. The bartender justified charging me $2.45 for the to-go cup even after explaining that I was just kicked out of the table. Instead of putting up an argument and getting management involved, I chose to leave this review. It will be awkward to sit at the bar again and see this person's smug face thinking she was right because she will absolutely remember me. In conclusion, wait the 5-10 minutes to sit at the front of the restaurant or sit at the bar. You will have a great experience. Unfortunately, I doubt I will be able to experience it again.

Came here for brunch and got the special which was just pancakes, eggs, and a side. We got the house potatoes as the side and i gotta say, they were the best potatoes I've ever had. They were crispy but soft on the inside. I think they were cooked with caramelized shallots and it was a freakin game changer. I could've had a whole plate of it. Servers were nice but make reservations! We ended up sitting at the bar; otherwise we would've had to wait 30 min plus (and we were just two people). Very cool vibes and good music

Great little lunch place. Good salads.

We went to spoon this am and it was SO GOOD. It was a bit hard to find. They don't have visible outdoor signage, so we thought it didnt exist. At 10:30am on a Sunday we were able to score a high top without a reservation. Needless to say, they absolutely shine for brunch. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles (sans gravy), my boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy skillet. Solid 10/10 for both. Mimosa carafe was a great deal, and nice way to top off such a delicious meal. I highly recommend coming here for brunch, and I personally cant wait to return.

Really really good food. Nice restroom. Service was just ok. Waitress was impatient, making us feel like we were inconveniencing her. The berry pancakes and Diner moment were very tasty. The eggs were cooked perfectly.
