    Heart-like shape in the toast
    Caleb M.

    Personally I think some of the best breakfast meals you can have are some of the local hole in the wall/mom and pop shops. My wife and I love going to places like this while traveling and despite that had yet to go to Brea Lu even though it's less than 10 minutes away from us. When you walk through the door you step into a large open space with tables and booths all over the place along with a large bar with lots of stools. They do appear to have a little bit of space available for a few more tables but that may become too much. Also thankfully they have their own parking lot, street parking available if that's full though. Staff were friendly and we were sat right away and food and drinks took no time at all. Only real knock was no check in about how the food was or if we needed anything. So, while minimal complaint, service could have been a little better. Onto the part you'd care about most, the food. They have all the usual breakfast staples you'd expect from a spot like this plus daily specials if you want something a little different. I enjoyed their breakfast tacos while my wife enjoyed their homemade cornbeef hash. The tacos were delicious and overfilled to the point a lot fell out and had to be eaten by fork. My wife said their cornbeef hash is the best homemade version she has ever had. We both found the potatoes to be on the colder side and lacking seasoning/flavor. My wife also wished they had jams on the table for the toast. Prices were a little higher than some similar vibe restaurants but not totally absurd. So overall, we were pretty happy with our meals and will return. A solid local establishment that I think is worth checking out at least once.

    My son and I stopped in their newer location for an early morning breakfast at opening (7am). The private parking lot was easy and convenient, much preferred to the issues of coming on/off the rotary into their old location. Only one other table had beat us there so there was ample space in the restaurant. We were told to sit wherever we liked. The one waitress that was there seemed to be handling her tasks without any problems. My son noticed that there were many coloring pages hanging at the hostess station and asked for her to bring over supplies. She did with a smile. We ordered a kids pancake, which came out in the shape of Mickey and a florentine benedict. We've ordered these same dishes at many restaurants over the last few weeks, as we have a standing Sunday morning date, and I'd summarize the menu and food as pretty average. They were good dishes, but weren't standouts.

    Stopped here for breakfast the other day at the new location and it was good. They have a lot of tables but only a few were full. It still took quite a while to get food even though there were only a few people there. I got a burrito and my boyfriend out the eggs Benedict and they were both really great but a bit overpriced. Almost 20 dollars for a burrito is a lot. Overall I do enjoy the food but wish it was faster and a little cheaper.

    Food was simple. Wasn't bad by any means but to be honest not anything that would draw me back. I had the All American Breakfast Sandwich (ham egg and cheese on an English muffin) that came with fried potatoes. I also had a coffee. The atmosphere was not to my liking; wide open space, very bright overhead shop/office style lights. Did not give the warm and cozy feel. This is just personal preference though. Service on the other hand was great. I was greeted and seated quickly. Server arrived quickly and was attentive throughout my visit. Also kind and polite. Wait time on food was minimal, it was out in a flash. Pricing was ok. However, as for the coffee pricing like all other restaurants these days they are trying to maximize profits on the drinks. I paid $2.99 which ended up being a single cup of coffee. In total $14.02 + tip.

    Super disorganized. The service was horrible and some of the girls were very rude. Our silverware was dirty. The wait time before someone even acknowledged us after we were sat was ridiculous. Most definitely will not be back again. The food was gross. My daughter's pancake was burnt and the potatoes weren't even cooked all way and the food was cold! When the pancake was brought to the managers attention she said "Well our pancakes are big so they have to stay in the grill longer" and was argumentative about taking it off the bill. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

    Western omelet, home fries and white toast.

    When I eat at a hotel restaurant, I usually don't have high expectations. City Farmhouse defied my…read moreexpectations. The food was so flavorful, quickly prepared, and very creative with its presentation. Local sourcing and very high-quality ingredients. The service was on point, the ambiance was warm and relaxing, and the value was more than reasonable. The same meal in Portland would have easily cost forty percent more. I wish I had taken pictures of the meal, but I was tired and hungry and just forgot. My burger and fries were spot on. The fries stayed crispy from the beginning to the end. The burger meat was fresh and very tasty. The dessert was next level, and I did get a picture before eating it, lol. Whether you stay at the hotel or not, City Farmhouse is always an excellent choice.

    This was my first time at City Farmhouse and we had a very disappointing experience. Three friends…read morehad lunch which was mediocre. The lunch menu appeared interesting however it took so long to get our food and when it finally was served several items that supposedly came with the meal were "unavailable". Since we were the only people in the restaurant we could not understand why it took forever to get our food. Each of us was disappointed when it did come. My fish sandwich had very little fish in it and what there was was strangely "rubbery". What would normally be an hour's lunch took two hours by the time we got our food and ate. We could not understand what was going on in the kitchen. Our server was pleasant but it did not make up for the overall experience. Will not return.

    Bissell Brothers still is deserving of the high acclaim and5 star review. One of their most popular…read moreDouble IPAs, called Swish had a new special Triple IPA version brewed called Super Swish. This beer release brought my wife and I for our visit today. As an IPA fan I enjoyed this new version very much for its hop saturated citrusy forward taste that drank quite smooth for the 9.5%. At this point now Bissell is broken into two separate parts. The first will be the space welcoming to families and is more of their restaurant style area. Appeared to be a popular area and does offer reservations. My preferred area is the Bissell Garden as they call it. Those entering need to be of drinking age and have more lounge vibes where you order at the bar. It still offers full kitchen menu so is perfect. Particularly my favorite is snagging bar stools to grab some beers and food. I had to try out the Super Swish while my wife grabbed their red ale named Turnpike. Then food wise we split their kitchen special Classic Poutine. Some of the best classic kept simple poutine I have had. The perfect comfort food for yet another cold weather day in Maine. Have been impressed by all the food from Bissell. Truly the only negative still stands being the fact it's on Thompson's Point and required paid parking (not Bissell Brothers call but still). One of the most popular Maine breweries for a reason especially in the IPA game. Give all their other style of beers a try too though, top notch brewery!

    Perfectly good bar food! Great ambiance. The space feels very open and there's lots of greenery…read more Very inviting. My friend and I split a few appetizers - the mezze plate (falafel, hummus, veggies, pita bread), the honey barbecue chicken wings, and fries. The portions were very generous and everything was tasty. Not exceptional but definitely good quality and quantity for what you pay for. My vodka seltzer was also very good - I got the strawberry lemonade flavor and it was light and refreshing. On the side of the restaurant we sat on, you order your food at the bar but it gets brought out to your table. Service was prompt and friendly. All in all a good experience!
