They have a decent menu and I love how many dishes they have for brunch. Service has always been great, I've never had a bad experience. There's a huge outdoor seating and it's great for big groups. Good usually comes out promptly so I've never had to wait too long even when it's busy. Pros: the portions are huge, I can easily share with another person and still have leftovers. I love their pancakes and French toast. Their lunch and dinner options are great too. Cons: parking can be hard to find (street parking). There's also parking garages near by.

We came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and I was trying to decide between the spinach omelette…read moreor the chicken fried steak. The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

From what we saw around us, the other dishes looked just as good. Service and coffee, however, could use some improvement. Our server said "I got you" every time she left the table, which became a bit distracting, and she didn't always return with what we asked for. She only checked in once during the entire meal. As for coffee, they clearly don't specialize in it, so I wouldn't bother ordering a cappuccino or anything similar next time. Overall, the food alone makes it worth returning. We'll go back, just with a better idea of what to order, and hopefully with a different server. The bathroom is shared and is part of the building. Odd and not well kept.

You go up to the counter to tell the waitress that you're there and then she told us to take any seat and brought us menus later. The the place is small and the only I don't know a few tables on one side but there's another long row of tables to the right of the counter. There's a secret menu with the QR code to get other items to order. I start out with a hot chocolate with no whip cream and they used a frother so that was nice. So after looking over the menu we finally ordered my wife got the waffles and then she added soft scrambled eggs and hash browns. The waffle came out cold or not cold actually warm the eggs were overcooked and definitely the hash browns were burned. I ordered the kitchen sink with steak and I asked her to do it medium rare the kitchen sink was really good and the steak was cooked perfectly I really liked it. I also got an order of french toast but it came out and it wasn't warm it was only warm but the fruit was really fresh it had didn't lacked flavor We were very disappointed since we saw this on the internet and thought it was going to be really good. The couple behind us had chickens and waffle and their waffle wasn't cooked thoroughly and the chicken was raw and she thought it was frozen so they returned their food I didn't bother returning any of our items I later heard from the waitress that the restaurant was closing. I asked her what was going on and she said that they just got informed Friday that the restaurant was closing Sunday which was tomorrow for good the rent was raised $3,000 more a month and the chef couldn't owner couldn't afford that and told him on Friday that they're closing Sunday so pretty disappointing it could have been or was I supposedly a good place but now because of the price they're not going to

We chose this restaurant as it was one of the only sit down places open. We were seated at a low part of the bar. It took the bartender, maybe 15 minutes to come and take our order. I was dying for coffee, which my fiancé and I both ordered. I've had worse, but I've had way better. Plus, it was just kind of lukewarm. They've got a very limited menu. My first inclination was to go with a burger, but then I saw a Korean barbecue chicken sandwich and I thought why not. I'd be lying if I said the sandwich didn't taste good, but I'm not sure what part of it was the Korean barbecue part. It was literally a fried chicken patty on a bun, that had definitely come in a bag frozen from somewhere. It had a very small amount of slaw that was red in color and I think that was supposed to possibly be the Korean part, but it had almost no flavor. The french fries were good though! I probably would not return to this location unless I'm in a position where I'm starving and it's the only thing to eat.

I myself, love lots of hot sauce with this. This burrito has NO meat just FYI but it's clean tasting and will get you full. My wife ordered their grilled cheese egg benedict which was tasty and cheesy. It's more on the salty side of things but it's so good and one of their most popular dishes. Their menu consists of unique items which all sound so good! Can't go wrong with either dish. Also, I recommend getting a house coffee; not sure which beans they use but it's tasty!

I wish Yelp let us make corrections instead of writing new reviews. But if you want a laugh, Yelp always lists the original alongside the new. Quality food, fun presentation, and packed with flavor. High marks all the way around. Very classy, upscale place to eat. Featuring seafood, they also have other options for those not so inclined. However, be aware that most of the menu focuses on seafood, which they do exceptionally well! FOOD: Like I mentioned, the food here (not hair) is excellent! The quality of ingredients is way above average. The variety of seafood, and the ability to basically craft your own meal is amazing. And the presentation is just spectacular! Usually going to a seafood restaurant, all I want is seafood. But for some reason I was craving mac & cheese, so I got the lobster mac & cheese. Often times, in a lobster mac & cheese you get a sprinkling of lobster. Here you had big full chunks of delicious, perfectly cooked lobster. It was amazing! My wife got the seafood in a bag which was so much fun and definitely well worth the price. Plus it was lots of fun. SERVICE: If there was anything better than the food, it would be the service! They were so attentive and kind and thoughtful that it was hard to believe! Plus, as I said, the presentation of food was on point. And the seats were spacious as well as comfortable. Really can't get much better. COST: Here is the one area that I would say might crimp your style. It will definitely put a dent in your wallet. The food and service are great, but the cost is pretty high! However, for being in the capital of California, in the middle of a convention center area, and considering the quality of food, you are definitely getting something well worth it.

I normally enjoy their entree's however, I was quite confused when my plate came out and it only had 3 scallops, 1 was overcooked (I guess I paid $10 per scallop since the plate itself was $36). The flavor profile was nice and light which went well with the green beans and the scallops. The waitress was very inattentive and refused to offer a complimentary birthday dessert after trying to upsell the desserts on the menu. I'll be back, but for HH only!

It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent.
