My son and I decided to have lunch at The 31st Grill. This was our first time having lunch here…read more When we arrived, we were treated and sat right away, which is always a good start. My son ordered the Patty Melt with a side of Caesar salad. I ordered the Tuna Melt with a size of onion rings. Both sides were considered upgrades and were an extra cost. My son really liked the Patty Melt. He gave it a 4 out of 5. The sourdough bread is thick, but soft on the inside. The burger patty was juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. He also liked the grilled onions and sauce that was a thousand island type sauce - they all complement the melt very well. He also really enjoyed the Caesar salad. I liked the Tuna Melt. The tuna salad had good flavor and there was a hearty amount of tuna in the sandwich. I was able to change the cheese to Swiss cheese, which gave the sandwich a softer cheese flavor. The bread was also a winner in my book. The onion rings were great. They are fresh made and very crispy - with a side of ranch, it was a very tasty side dish that went so well with my tuna melt. Overall, we had a good experience for lunch. We had very good food. Our waiter Erik was courteous, attentive, and fast. We will definitely be back and will plan to save room for some of those delicious looking pies.

I took my grandma and grandpa here on Friday, and this place exceeded my expectations. My grandma…read morereally enjoyed her tacos, and my grandpa liked his food too--although he thought the salsa was a little too spicy (I personally loved the kick). The tortillas were amazing--soft, fluffy, and delicious. My molcajete had great flavor as well. My only personal preference was that the steak was cooked more well-done than I typically like, which made it a little dry for me. I understand that may be how many customers prefer it, but it could be nice to give guests the option on how they'd like their steak cooked. The beans were creamy, the rice had great flavor, and overall everything tasted fresh and well made. It does get busy, so parking can be a little difficult, and it can get pretty loud inside during peak hours--but that's also a sign that people clearly enjoy this place. Overall, delicious food and I definitely want to come back to try more items on the menu.

Very cute and would love to come back again when we are visiting to try something different. If you come and there is a long wait, there is a reason for it.

Since I'm a creature of habit, I generally get the corned beef hash and eggs or the eggs benedict. 10/10 recommend for either. My girls switch it up at every visit and they've never been disappointed. The place is not much to look at and could definitely use some upgrades but don't let that stop you!

The breakfast itself was pretty simple and basic, so I can't say too much about the food, but everything was fine and my mom really enjoys coming here.

First time trying Caffe Soleil, and overall I had a good experience. It's a very small café with…read moretwo counters and a few small tables, but the inside is adorable. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, with trendy décor that is very appealing to the eye. When I arrived, it was a little challenging to find the full menu, and I wasn't greeted right away. However, I understand places can get busy, so I didn't let that affect my overall impression too much. I ordered the Panini Caprese sandwich, and my son ordered the Caesar salad wrap. My sandwich didn't look quite as full as the photo, but honestly, the flavor made up for it. It was delicious with great texture, and I loved every bite. I also appreciated that it came with pickled jalapeños on the side, which was a nice extra touch since I love adding those to sandwiches. My son rated his wrap a 3 out of 5. He felt there wasn't much chicken inside, and there also wasn't much Caesar dressing, so it mostly tasted like a wrap with lettuce. It would have been a much better experience if they had included more chicken and Caesar dressing on the side to add more flavor. Overall, I'd definitely come back and try this place again because I really enjoyed my sandwich and the café itself has such a cute, cozy vibe.

The owners themselves are the ones serving customers, and they are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They truly make you feel at home and go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is always fresh, delicious, and comes out quickly. My favorite dish is the chilaquiles, and I highly recommend them! The restaurant is always clean, including the restrooms, which is something I really appreciate. If you're looking for a family-owned restaurant with amazing food and genuinely wonderful service, The Village is definitely worth visiting. You can tell they care about their customers, and that's one of the many reasons I keep coming back.

It was very busy inside, but since no one was waiting outside, I stepped inside and a server said to take any open table. The food came out within minutes after we ordered. Lots of gluten free options! Note: the gluten free waffle is made on shared waffle cookers. Servers were very attentive and we were finished within 40 minutes of sitting down. The food is simple, fast, diner-style with a big menu: eggs, sausages, bacon, different types of pancakes and waffles, sandwiches, etc. Everything was served hot and the gluten waffle was crispy on the outside. Servers came by and refilled coffee mugs a few times. We came on a Monday (federal holiday) around 10:15 am. As we were leaving around 11:00 am, we saw a few groups waiting outside.

I've spoken before on how a good breakfast can match a good dinner in terms of creativity,…read moresustenance, and taste. Sometimes finding a good breakfast spot can make or break a whole trip. The breakfast club has some pretty good dishes. The Seaside Joe's Scramble I had was very filling and very tasty. I normally don't like scrambled eggs. I find it a waste of eggs. But I don't see how you make a dish like this with all those mushrooms and spinach without scrambled eggs. A sunny side egg or two just wouldn't cut it. At any rate, we had no complaints about the food. I think the letdown was in the service. There were numerous times servers would just skip over the table when the coffee needed refilling, or when the bill was ready to be paid. There even was an instance where they asked if jelly or jam was needed, and just never came back with that until reminded some minutes later. I get restaurants being busy, and that food joint was pretty active. But this was more than two or three cases; it was kind of habitual and points to a distracted or probably understaffed situation, and that's what kind of ruins meals. The atmosphere was good. It was a very cozy diner full of charming decor. The spacing was good, and, while it did get a little loud inside, it didn't reach bar or pub volumes of distraction. It wasn't off-putting being inside. Aside from the underwhelming service I'm sure we were feeling, I'd recommend this place more. The food was kind of good and it certainly was filling. I just can't help it when the gaps in coverage become distracting.
