    French toast

    This place gives off total roadside diner vibes, which I think is what they are going for. There's license plates and tin signs on the walls, and a gas pump in the waiting area. The staff were super friendly and greeted us as we walked through the front door. We were seated immediately and it was clean, including the restrooms. The menu is all menu all day, cheeseburger for breakfast? Sure. Eggs for dinner? No problem. It was a pretty simple menu, and they had a few specials. We tried a few different things, everything was really good! The prices are fair, we all know the days of $10.00 are behind us...but I would definitely call this place affordable. We were never rushed either. This is a great little diner and I will definitely be back.

    Away from home to celebrate a wedding and we stumble upon a Brentwood gem . Dad's diner food, service and ambiance receives 5 stars. You're greeted with a friendly smile, the food is fresh and savory. The decor and music takes you back in time. I recommend this place for a hearty, old fashion breakfast and don't forget to get order a milkshake.

    BLT, added avocado, subbed Tater tots, I also ordered a side salad.

    I came into the diner today for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised with how my experience went. I was greeted by a big smiling face at the door, she sat me and introduced herself as Harper. She made me fresh Ice Tea after I asked if it was made fresh? My BLT, I asked for extra crispy bacon and it was perfect! The tater tots I substituted were crispy and hot, tasted great! This is my 3rd time here and finally decided to leave a review. Definitely my new go to spot!

The place looks really nice now--such a pleasant spot to sit, enjoy your treats, and relax, especially with kids. The ice cream is always delicious, and we absolutely love their affogato. I was also amazed that they go by cups--we got a lot for the large cups, which felt like great value! I did want to share a small piece of feedback about our recent visit. In the past, water was available in small jars, but now it's set up in a larger dispenser. After ordering ice cream, we went to grab some water, but it had run out. I let the staff member in front know, and she kindly explained that they were out, which I completely understood. However, another staff member suddenly commented that there was no water and that if I wanted some, I should buy and pay for it. It was a bit surprising--not because of the policy, but because of the tone, which came across as a bit harsh. Maybe she was just having a bad day, which I can understand, but the delivery didn't feel very welcoming. I want to emphasize that I have no issue paying for water at all; in fact, I planned to go back to the car after ice cream to get water since we parked nearby. It was just the way it was said that didn't sit well. I didn't say anything at the moment since I understand everyone can have off days, but I do think consistency in how customers are spoken to is important--others might not take that tone as lightly. When I sat down, another staff member came over and offered my family water. If you happen to read this--thank you. Your kindness really meant a lot to us. Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the great ice cream, generous portions, and the cozy atmosphere. Sharing this as feedback because we enjoy this place and would love to keep having great experiences here.

Their iced coffees & ham/cheese croissants are delish too! They really are a one stop shop specially when you have guests in town. The people working there are so sweet too!! When they see me juggling things with my toddler or taking too long to grab my food, they bring it over or let me know it's ready.

My mother-in-law got the pear salad and was surprised it only had 4 slices of pear and came with dressing on, when she'd requested it on the side. Ultimately she liked it though. We will be back as it's one of the nicer restaurants in the area.

Inside, it gave off an old school vibe - obviously this place has a lot of history. It reminded us of similar cafés we would see in small Northern California towns on vacation. We later found out the café had been here for 60 years. Most of the patrons seem to be regulars, knowing the servers and chatting with them, a good sign. I ordered the Joe's Scramble with hash browns and wheat toast. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict with country potatoes. We didn't have to wait long, and you definitely get your money's worth - the servings were quite large. We ate well, and had enough leftovers for dinner. My wife particularly praised the country potatoes. Good to see some of these long time restaurants have managed to last to the current day.

The Food I had ordered "The Spaniard" omelette and it was incredibly underwhelming. There was no seasoning or flavor between the omelette and potatoes. Is their cook new? Salt & pepper is a staple for basic seasoning. The food wasn't bad, it was just plain. Maybe today was an off today. 2 stars for food. The Ambiance The restaurant seems to be fairly new/newish. It's nice, but the interior has no character or personality. Who is MJ? What is MJ's? Also, I found dust on almost every single ledge. The place was largely clean from what I could see, but once I sat down, I could see dust on a couple of places. I'm open to trying the place again and see if my experience is different than today. I'll definitely order something different. The staff are clearly the all-stars in a place of average.

This Hawaiian French restaurant is something out of LA, San Francisco, or even Honolulu/Waikiki. Such a great brunch spot! The interior decor is like a ruined old-French still quarter building with the visuals of balconies just like Paris. There are even classic vintage French poster prints on the wall with an island touch of plants hanging and the music of Polynesian reggae in the background. The menu is great with lots of items to choose from as well as a wine list. We started with a mimosa carafe with 5 different juice flavors to choose from like mango, strawberry, passionfruit, orange, etc. I ordered their Loco Moco which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I did love the way they cooked my burger patty (medium), so it had some nice char texture. My friend ordered the garlic shrimp with coconut fried rice. This tasted delicious and very authentic. It was better than some dishes I actually had in Hawaii. The French toast was regular and tasted nothing different than other's I've tried. It was toasted more than the usual to give it some crispy texture in which I loved. Overall, this bistro is phenomenal, and I will definitely take my family here for brunch next time. Their service is quick and very attentive which is important. Even though the place got packed up, the two employees frequently checked on people. I want to try more, and I'll be back soon.
