    Came here for lunch The place has a nostalgic diner setting and was pretty clean inside. I ordered the pastrami burger which was a mistake. The pastrami was very low grade, thick and chewy. The rest of the burger was decent but nothing impressive. Buns tasted like something from the grocery store and the patty had a nice char to it but was not very big or high quality. The staff was nice and the burger came out pretty fast, so that's a plus.

I was hesitant to get the Blackened Rib Eye (because I love a good steak and didn't want to be disappointed), but it was cooked so perfectly and seasoned very well, topped with their garlic butter. I will get that again. Service was spectacular and I hate that I don't remember the servers name. Blame those delicious Honey Lavender Lemonades. I could honestly drink them all summer (please keep it on the menu, lol)

It was totally different... The man who sat us didn't even make eye contact, say hello, smile, in fact he seemed irritated and almost mad he had to seat us. It was so awkward. Our food was accidentally bussed away when we went to the restroom but Raul was nice enough to make sure we got our food remade. That was nice of him. Not his fault it was cleared. No manager came to say anything or talk to us. We got completely ignored by management. There was also another server, I wish I asked his name but didn't, and he was extremely kind and helpful. He was honestly a bright light to a pretty underwhelming time. The food- ahi poke was nice and refreshing, ribs are always good, but the desert was totally lacking! I mean the chef special cookie was a small square with a mini ice cream, and I mean mini (it was in the condiment container when we took it to go). They forgot my daughter's ice cream. The French dip my husband said was good. Butter cake was unfortunately thin and mushy compared to how I remember it being.

We were not in a big hurry but we didn't want to have a two hour lunch. When you first walk in, you can clearly see the bar area directly off to your right. It was completely empty. But, I wanted to sit at one of the tables there are they have TVs above the bar. Something to watch in the background during our meal. I notice that there were about four tables taken in their "outdoor" area. So, no busy. We were seated fairly quickly but then it took about 5 minutes before someone came over to offer us water or to order drinks. Seemed like there were only two people working the floor and they seemed a bit ruffled. Overall, for the limited number of patrons who were in the place, I thought we'd get more attention, or at least get it quicker. Once nice, thing, they have some specials daily. My wife ordered the tacos and they were good. I ordered the steak and fries. The steak was good but had a bit of sinew in it, making several pieces chewy. When I needed a refill, I had to flag down one of the two servers. When I wanted our bill, I had to flag down the server. Just seemed odd, for a place that only had 6 or 8 tables occupied (at this point) that we would have to flag them down for service. As said, overall, disappointed and wasn't the mood we wanted to be in before our matinee. Hope your experience is better than ours and...enjoy!!!

    Discovering "The Great Room Cafe" was as unexpectedly amazing as if my good friend Sheny & I had…read moreeach discovered a precious gem in our respective pockets! Unable to locate a restaurant as we drove aimlessly down Artesia Blvd, I'd decided to search the Google Map Application "Restaurants nearby" which led us directly to choosing this simple and emaculate cafe housed in an impressive artistically designed building that, I was concerned, might be a bit more on the fancy side. To my delight, it was an airy and welcoming atmosphere where we were immediately welcomed with a smile by a genuinely warm young woman (Anna E.) whom was as helpful and amiable speaking English as she was Spanish with us! With only one hour for breakfast, we each experienced the smoothest most delicious coffee which is every bit as smooth as the coffee I grind and prepare at home, and I daresay it may be even better! My 1st cup with cream and sugar was remarkable, and this was followed by the breakfast burrito that was a cut above many others containing the perfect balance of scrambled eggs, sausage links cut the perfect size, a small amount of hash browns, and white cheese. This was just the right amount to share along with the french fries (crinkle cut) we also shared. My second refilled cup of coffee finished an amazing breakfast and was taken simply black. This was the nicest finish to a remarkable breakfast, and I look forward to coming to enjoy the live music they have on a specific day I cannot recall, but Sheny and I pinky promised with Anna E. to return for more of their delicious fare we have merely tipped the scales with what they have to offer. I'm already planning on bringing more friends even though no one I know lives nearby! Lastly, this five star restaurant may be down to Earth, but it also has the cleanest bathroom I have experienced outside of very neat homes of families! Visit The Great Room Cafe, and you'll have a Great experience you'll wish to make extra time and room for soon! I look forward to updating my impressions upon revisiting this gem of an establishment (a family owned restaurant) and I'll make this my 2nd "Pinky Promise"!

When I got to the front door, I see that there's another change of ownership and I'm hoping that this place keeps taking because it is such a unique spot. I do feel like the food is better than the last time I came - more to the quality levels I would have received back in the day. The night I went in they were having a large event in the way back, so I was happy to see that. There was only one person taking orders, providing service for that event, and delivering food to everybody and I wish I had written her name down because she was super friendly and super helpful and got everything right with my order! Honestly, that friendly neighborhood feel is a big part of what makes TGR so welcoming! I will have to bring my kids in again soon.

We opted to sit outside rather than inside, and it was nice. SERVICE Best part of the brunch! We were greeted warmly by both server and manager. They offered recommendations and both checked up on us throughout our meal. FOOD Everything was 3/5 Thick cut bacon - served with jam and shishito peppers. It was indeed thick and visually appealing, however, it was soo dry I had to saw through it with a knife. Breakfast bowl - pretty basic brunch bowl, good portion of brisket. Brisket grilled cheese w/ fries - very rich and decadent, brisket was good Overall, I like how it's a mile from Hermosa pier so it's more quiet and enjoyable, yet very close to the beach. I want to come back to try their dinner at sunset!

HopSaint has this relaxed, completely unpretentious vibe where conversation just lingers in the air and somehow every day feels like a Saturday. It's the kind of place I just want to melt into. And HELLO, they have the best mac and cheese, in my humble opinion. (The only competition is the old Koo Koo Roo mac and cheese with those burnt edges... omg. ) How does a brewery do food AND vibes this well? I don't know, but they've nailed it. The bacon, the meats ... everything is juicy, hearty, perfectly cooked. It's what you imagine good, hearty eating should taste like, without those inconsistencies you might find elsewhere or where some dishes are meh, or the patrons or servers somehow make you feel like you don't belong. None of that here. Everyone gets to sit back, have a drink (which you can literally see being brewed through the glass), eat food that makes you happy, with a mood that simultaneously melts worries away.
