This…read moreparticular day was my birthday, so we had adults and kids and needed a place with something for everybody. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. We had made reservations and our table was ready when we got there, which I appreciated. Our server was AWESOME! I wish I could remember her name. Blonde and super bubbly - maybe Carla? She was just fantastic and got everything right. My mom loved her Caprese Chicken. My dad thought his pizza was just so-so. I ordered a French Dip with a side green salad and enjoyed it. The side salad was large and they use a spring mix. Their blue cheese and ranch must be made in house because both are phenomenal! Their pickles are super good, too (confirmed made in-house). Both kids ordered the chicken strips and those came with potato chips. To be honest, neither kid was super crazy about it. They were a bit overcooked and really hard to chew. My son aborted after one bite, and my daughter ate two of three pieces. When gathering our plates, the server asked if we wanted to take my son's home. I casually mentioned that they were too tough for him - I wasn't complaining and certainly didn't need a handout. I did ask to take half of my sandwich home, and she was thoughtful enough to pack me some new au jus! What a nice touch. So, for my birthday, I ordered the peanut butter pie which I don't see on many menus but I love because it reminds me of a restaurant I used to go to as a kid. IT WAS DELICIOUS! And, they were kind enough to fancy it up with some birthday decorations. To my surprise, at the end of our meal, a super friendly and warm gentleman (who may have been the manager - he was the first to greet us on arrival) let me know that he comped the chicken strips! Then, the server said my pie was free too! I actually felt kind of bad about that because we really had a lovely time and it wasn't necessary, but how nice! Every single staff member there looked happy, were welcoming and kind. The service here is top tier. I will absolutely be back.

There were a few in house dressings along with some store bought ones. I tried the balsamic vinaigrette and a honey ginger dressing. It was good, but I think it could be better. My husband ordered the pesto tofu sandwich with Moroccan soup, and that was the highlight. The sandwich was delicious, and his only regret was not getting the full size. The soup was also really flavorful. The place itself feels cozy. The food came out quickly, and we finished everything in no time. Parking is street parking, which might be tricky, especially on weekends. Overall, a good experience. I would definitely come back to try more sandwiches or burgers, but I would probably skip the salad bar next time.

We stopped in for brunch and I got my usual tarragon chicken sandwich and he got the chicken friend steak. I got water and he had asked for a Snohomish Coffee, which included alcohol, to which the waitress repeated "Snohomish Coffee", but he received a regular drip coffee. Neither of us were upset and didn't ask for a correction as it was busy and a simple oversight. When I ordered my sandwich, I asked for the pasta salad as my side and a side salad to add on. When my meal arrived, the pasta salad was replaced with the salad which, again, was fine and I didn't bring it up to the waitress - she seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people in the restaurant. When the bill came, I had noticed a $4.25 charge for the salad and asked about the amount. I told the waitress that I hadn't received my pasta salad, emphasizing that this was totally okay, I was more confused about the price. On the menu, it notes that side salad substitutions are $3.00, not $4.25. She informed me this was her first day, and as someone who worked in the industry for many years, I completely understood. She said she would ask and came back saying the price was correct but they hadn't updated prices on the menu yet. This didn't sit too well with me, but I left it as to not go back and forth. After all, the waitress doesn't control prices. However, if a price is posted, that's what should be on the ticket, whether it's been updated or not. The nail in the coffin for me was after I paid in cash, I thanked the waitress twice. She not only stopped making eye contact with me after the price incident, she said not a word either. No "thank you", no "thanks for coming in", not any acknowledgement of my existence. She put the change on the table and walked away. Again, as someone who has worked in the industry, when something (like prices) is out of my control, I still would apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding, and try to make things right or at least have the customer leave with some sort of sense of resolution. That was not attempted. I loved this place for years but unfortunately after today's interaction, I am not confident I will be back.

We were celebrating with my husband, our two young children, and my in-laws, so we were looking forward to a special brunch together. Our server, Shami, did not make us feel welcomed from the start. There was no introduction, greeting, or acknowledgment that it was Father's Day. The interaction felt very rushed and impersonal. When ordering mimosas, she brought the champagne to the table and asked whether we wanted to serve ourselves or have her do it, which felt unusual and left us unsure of what was expected. Throughout the meal, we consistently thanked her when food and drinks were brought out, but our comments were met with silence. There was little to no engagement, warmth, or hospitality during the service. While we understand everyone can have an off day, the overall experience felt cold and inattentive, especially for a special occasion. The food was good, and because we've had positive experiences here in the past, we're hopeful this was an isolated incident. However, service plays a big role in the dining experience, and this visit left us disappointed.

The Bánh Mì had an amazing smoky flavor, and they even served it with a side of au jus for dipping, which was fantastic. Every dipping sauce we tried deserved five stars--the honey mustard, the burger sauce, and that incredible tartar sauce. What really sets this place apart is the kids' play area. It's huge and thoughtfully designed with video games, Pac-Man, a train table, and plenty of space for kids to play.

We decided to pass because we did not want to fill up before dinner, but it was a nice touch. We were greeted right away and seated in the bar area, where we still had a nice view of the lake through the windows. We were brought chips, salsa, and refried beans to start. My husband ordered the wet burrito and clearly enjoyed it because he ate every bit of it. I ordered the fried tilapia with rice and salad, and I thought it was excellent.
