    Very cozy seating and great staff but the prices don't match the quantity or quality of food I had the corned beef hash with poached eggs on it and my wife had a waffle eggs sausage with a set of hash browns which cost extra. They also have crab cakes which were $16 for two of them but it was full of crab

    Came back here and had a much better experience! I got the crispy French toast and black tea. The French toast was extremely yummy and I'd come back for that again. It was perfectly crispy, flavorful and had fruits and nuts, and so aesthetic too. The service was really good and fast too.

    Service was attentive and got to spend time catching up with friends for about an hour or two on a relaxed Sunday morning. Huevos rancheros was tasty and filling and the coffee got refilled twice. The remodel looks amazing like eating in someone's huge living room. Hopefully get to come here again.

    We got here on a Saturday and there was a huge line as they maintain the reservations in an old school way of pen and paper :D Although we lost hopes of getting a seat, we managed to get one after waiting for about 15 minutes because a party of 2 infront of us left the queue. The interior ambiance is pleasant for a brunch spot and although the tables were really close to each other, we had a nice meal! The food tasted really really good - both the French toast and the oat meal with seasonal fruits were prepared fresh and plated so well! The service was also really good, as we got our request of changing tables accepted as we couldn't stand the overwhelming smell of the kitchen on the side closer to it. Would definitely come back for brunch if I am in the area!

    Home Run Special

    The food is excellent. I had the home plate special it was delicious. My partner has thService was quick, we came on a Wednesday morning so there was no wait. The place is super cute. I found this place on Yelp and out of all the breakfast spots in San Francisco that we have tried this one is my favorite. They also have a cute set up in the front to take pictures.

    Chicken & waffles

    I came as a walk-in with a relatively-large party and, surprisingly, was able to get seated within a few minutes. We came for their bottomless mimosas, and they were very accommodating for those of us who didn't want to drink, allowing some of us to participate in bottomless mimosas while others didn't. They were very attentive with replacing our mimosas when they got empty, and were very friendly. As for food, I got the chicken & waffles and had no complaints.

    Brunch place in the Marina district along busy Lombard St. They have a nice interior with comfy ambience. I ordered the waffle and fried chicken steak. The steak was good but I didn't like the gravy that much. The waffle was just average tasting.

    Latte

    Super cute place! Came after a run with the MRC run club. Good: - The ambiance is great, beautiful decor and it's a cute brunch place - The acai bowl was great - super beautiful plating and good portion size, I liked the acai blend they used too and there was a lot of fruit on the plate - The huevos rancheros was also delicious, the tortilla was plated in a cute way - The latte with oatmilk was so tasty! - Staff checked in us a lot Bad: - Takes forever for the food to come out! I swear we waited about 30 min for the food to get to us Overall enjoyed the experience though it was a lot of waiting.

    guest: 5  Waiter automatically took it upon herself to add 20% tip because there was 6 people when on the table it clearly states 5 guest

    Service needs to improve. Had to flag down a waiter to get our order taken. Then once again flagged a waiter to see how much longer for our food after 45 minutes passed. Asked for our tab and to our surprise, the waiter added 20% because there was 6 people, when actually they only served 5 plates the sixth person was a 1 year old child who ate from my plate. Just reviewed the tab and it states 5. How rude of the waiter to take it upon herself to charge 20% tip!

    Fried Avocado

    The fried avocados are like no other. They are incredibly good and paired perfectly with the citrus aioli. The phily omelette is a bit dry . The atmosphere makes me feels like I'm a middle aged woman .

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

    I am speechless! I saw the rave reviews for Brenda's French Soul Food and had to try them out for…read moremyself. And, my goodness, I was not disappointed. Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
