    Excellent food and customer service. My only feedback is when the waiters bring the food to the table when they explain the dish, voices should be louder as when the room gets busier, your customers can barely hear the explanation

    I took my 84 yo Mom to meet some of her friends for brunch. We sat outside on a sunny but cold and windy day. Wind is a factor, there is nothing to buffer it and it blows dust and dirt onto everything. Food was fabulous- especially the pancakes and the potato crepe. Server was friendly and responsive. Older folks can be prone to hard of hearing and he was very respectful and helpful when they asked him to repeat himself. We all said we’d go back again - but maybe sit in a different area. Outside was good for conversation tho. Not loud.

    Limited brunch options. Ordered the potatoes, apple pancakes, omelette, and chilaquiles, but would only recommend the potatoes and pancakes based quality, quantity and taste. Overrated for the price and the hype.

    Service has declined over time, servers are still Super nice , but you have to waive them down for drinks etc. we had a table of 8 and had to constantly ask for help. The busboy and support staff was great, wait staff seemed less engaged and not very attentive. For the price you can find bunch of better places within walking distance. I think they will continue to see decline in return customers. Very sad as it used to be an amazing place

    Great experience! Food was good, but not a lot of options. I was not super impressed. It was a great time with friends.

    Maybe it was an off day but it was just kind of messy from start to finish. Olivia, the incredibly sweet but severely overworked hostess was struggling to keep up with all of the people waiting in line to checkin. She did her job admirably though. It took a long time for the server to come by and even then it was just to drop off a bottle of water then walk away like he had something better to do. The food was good but there is more to life than Fresno chilies, shallots and cilantro which just happened to be on all 3 of the dishes we ordered. Additionally between when we ordered and got our last plate finally delivered, it was over an hour and half. We actually had to remind the server that we were missing a meal. When we were asked by the server how it was, we were honest and got a “well as you can see, it’s busy”. Wow, a simple apology would have sufficed. Again, maybe it was just an off brunch service.

    When I first I went here, I was on time and checked in with the hostess. We weren’t seated for an entire hour. Decided to give this place another try again several months later. Once again, showed up on time for my reservation and still wasn’t seated after over a half hour wait. Wanted to try and give brunch a try and again, we weren’t seated on time. As much as I enjoyed the food, this was just too much of an inconvenience and ruins the experience.

    Took us an hour to be seated for our reservation. Not cool. Frequently had to wave our server down, just overall experience was rushed, couldn’t really enjoy it.. probably won’t be back.
