A favorite neighborhood go-to. Fabulous cocktail menu, seasonal beautifully executed apps and entrees. And the best staff ever!! The beet salad is always my starter. Duck confit was wonderful. Snapper and the beautiful peas were a table favorite. I could go on and on, but you need to experience it for yourself. So just go.

Beautiful dinner with friends. Food was amazing! Staff was incredibly accommodating seating us at a later time due to a concert and not rushing us.

The Devils on Horseback , the Croquettes and the Pork Jowl were delicious appetizer. The Braised Short Ribs, Lamb Stroganoff, Red Fish, and Steak Frites were excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. It was not too crowded or noisy when we were there at 6:45 pm. We will look forward to dining there again

Loved Encina! Started off with the flatbread and croissants, and got the bread pudding French toast.
Penny
Something about our experience yesterday is sticking with me and I have to share with management.
Lina
Underwhelming experience. The brunch menu for non alcoholic drinks is almost nonexistent, like not even lattes. The bagel as an entree is a total scam, the one male restroom was taken for more than 45 minutes without any attention from staff and the place was crowded, noisy and not rememberable at all. We were there for a birthday and despite the staff being aware, there was no acknowledgment. The one dish worth the visit was the bread pudding french toast.

Went for the first time yesterday with 3 friends and it was the beginning of a beautiful day. The energy in the space is calming and engaging at the same time and the food and drinks were just delightful. I was blown away by the horseradish infused bloody mary, and the blue corn and butterscotch pancakes had us all speechless. I cannot wait to go check out what dinner at Encina is like. Highly recommend. I will be back.

Great corner spot, friendly staff and incredibly large portions. Do not skip out on; pancakes, chocolate croissants or the brunch cocktails. The Brunch entree's are best to share. Beautiful layout, decor and well thought out patio design. 100% Will be back!

We had an excellent brunch on Sunday, with great food and service. Most of our table ordered the migas; one had the pork belly and grits; two had breakfast sandwich; another had pancakes. Everyone was happy. The palomas were the best we've had! Our server was so patient with our big table. The only downside was that it was hard to talk; the noise level is through the roof, but it's a fun environment.
The food (all of it) was very good and they accommodated modifications. Wide range of brunch options - we got the bread pudding french toast and the biscuits and gravy and split them - both very good and ample portions. Service was great, quick uber from downtown.

This place was so cute love that they had their own parking. Get there early for the short rib because it will sale out. Great place for a date night.

Great food and service. The dining room on the backside of the bar is quite loud due to the cement floor and tin roof. The at didn't stop us from going there 2 of the last 3 days though. The lamb stroganoff was delicious

We love this place. The duck was impressive and the pork was to die for. Started with martinis accompanied with the mussels that had chorizo which added a bit of interesting flavor.
