TLDR: The slow service impaired the dining experience, and the passive aggressive gratuity procedure degrades the image of this restaurant.We just went here for a nice family dinner. They have a good variety of food choices. The tortilla soup and cioppino were both excellent, as were the confit potatoes. The strip steak had good flavor. The seafood beignets was unique but nothing spectacular and the roasted cauliflower was just ok. As for the desserts, the blockbuster was pretty good. The carrot cake was nothing special.What really needs improvement is the service. The waiter was slow in coming for each step of the ordering process and dining experience, and we had to flag him down twice. Also, the soup i ordered arrived at the same time as my entree, instead of being brought out with the appetizers. At least the lady that filled our water was always prompt. We ended up spending 2.5 hrs there due to slow service.Then, a 20% tip was printed onto our bill. At the bottom of the check (not disclosed on the menu), it says that a “suggested gratuity” is added for all parties of 8 or more, but we only had 5 people in our party (2 adults and 3 kids). It also says, the guest has "right to determine the final amount, free from compulsion or negotiation,” yet there it is printed onto the bill, and another line labeled “Additional Tip” below. For the level of service we received, I would’ve tipped 18% max. While I certainly could have argued it, the dinner took so long i just wanted to leave. It wasn’t much extra money, but of course that is not the point, and, it left me with a negative impression of this establishment.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu

Discontinued one of the only good plates they had for brunch (skirt fajitas & eggs) , we came all the way from Atascocita only to find out they didn't serve it anymore, ended up leaving and going somewhere else. Probably won't be coming back since that was the only plate I liked from here.

My wife’s favorite breakfast, lunch, Sunday Brunch spot. Weather permitting the outside patio is perfect. This restaurant was originally a house and has an eclectic feel. You can eat upstairs too! They have live jazz on the weekends. The brisket amigas are fantastic and I personally like the salads and steak dishes. Manuel took great care of us this time and the manager Nelson always makes us feel special. Please come say hello and enjoy a wonderful meal.Parking: Pull up to the front. It’s complimentary just tip them well.
The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was delicious. We sat on the patio outside, and enjoyed the weather while being in the shade. We were visiting from Ohio and would recommend a stop if you're in the area... or if you're up for a little drive, it's still worth

We reserved a table and highlighted that it was for an anniversary. I made a request for champagne to be at table before arriving and our request was answered. Sergio, our server, provided fantastic service and made our night more special. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks, and dessert. Highly recommend for dinner and especially if you're celebrating something.

I always have such a wonderful time here. The food and service are always excellent, and I would highly recommend this place. It is in an old house which gives it a really cool vibe and the outside patio and sun room are both beautiful. Also a great spot for brunch.
Enjoyed a girl's brunch in February 2024 and the restaurant was clean, staff was nice, and food was good. Solid portion sizes and delicious red sangria.

I got the avocado toast with a side of bacon, and it was delicious. I tried my friends brisket Benedict and steak and eggs, which were all good as well. Loved the free banana muffins at the start of the meal!Cozy location and free parking, plus we were able to get a table for 6 on a Saturday morning with no reservation.
