“ Great sou, specially, staple to every day food like meat loaf, etc... -edK Ps: try there chicken pot pie? ”
“ Food and service was amazing. I honestly come for the shrimp and grits. Nowhere else in the Bay Area do they make bomb Cajun shrimp and grits. ”
“ Took the crew out for brunch for Xmas. It was a nice get together. I didn't get a pic of the mozzarella sticks but they were 5outta5. Nice size, crisp & very cheesy! Churro waffles - Crew member said they were good! Veggie omelette- Crew member really enjoyed the dish. Loaded potatoes - 4.5outta5 a lil too much cheese but delicious otherwise Shrimp & Grits 4outta5 Didn't care for the clumps of grits & although the sauce was delicious, there was a tad too much of it. Good seasoning, shrimp cooked perfectly & I enjoyed the dish. Nice atmosphere, attentive service; We all enjoyed the experience. ”
“ I love this restaurant. Anything you order from here is guaranteed to be good. I love they have a special menu for each season. The breakfast is phenomenal, omelettes are my favorite, I recommend the extra omelette (that's the name) but all of them are good. My friend took me here for brunch one day years ago and I've been hooked ever since. The service is also 10/10, the food is always made to perfection and the wait is usually not long. I loved the old location but this downtown one is very clean and tidy as well with the same great service and food. Definitely a go to for brunch or any type of food. They pretty much have it all. ”
“ The service was excellent! We had a party of five, and one person arrived 15 minutes late. The staff was patient and welcoming, waiting until our whole group was there. They also checked in on us every 3-5 minutes to see if we needed anything, which I really appreciated. The ambiance has a classic yet modern restaurant style, very clean and nicely set up. Now, onto the food. I enjoyed the omelette I ordered, and the sausages were very tasty. While I personally prefer my scrambled eggs slightly undercooked, I didn't mind them here. A little salt and pepper on top added a nice touch of flavor. Overall, this place offers good value for the price. ”
“ Food is good but not the best I've ever had. The service is pretty fast and you get your food right away. The ambiance is modern with a breakfast vibe to it. Ordered the biscuit breakfast and it was okay. The biscuit was a bit hard and the chicken tenders were kinda bland. ”
“ Everyone greeted me with a smile. My coffee choice had a twist as it does contain alcohol. It had chocolate sprinkles which I had to decline. The shrimp and grits were okay. Didn't like they had the tails on as I had to get a little dirty to remove them since were covered in the grit and sauce blend. Comfortable seating and has a nice intimate bar as you can have a cocktail if you so choose. Definitely would return but for a different meal item. ”
“ Parking lot full on a Sunday morning. A good sign for a hot breakfast plate. I did get that. Quick seating, greeted warmly, a pleasant server, and a hot breakfast. Just the classic with vegan sausage for me. Thank you ”
