While visiting family, we joined them for Taco Tuesday. It was packed around 6:30, and it was…read moresooooo loud but we were seated quickly. Their full menu was extensive, and a little overwhelming. They have a huge variety of items that you wouldn't expect, like pizza and pastas. But we stuck to the taco Tuesday specials. I had the Fiesta Taco Salad. It's massive!! I definitely enjoyed it, and couldn't come anywhere close to finishing it. But it was a bit unremarkable. Think "white people taco night". Very basic, bland, no spice, really no cumin or any type of spices on the meat itself. It came with salsa and sour cream instead of dressing. Black olives were listed on the menu, but I didn't get any. If you're looking for authentic and flavorful, I'd skip it.

The restaurant is very cozy and comfortable. They had a singer with live music in the lounge area. I highly recommend people start supporting these local businesses so we don't lose them.

I used to go weekly to this place and I know they had some hiccups at the beginning, hence my questions while ordering. I get there and they're trying to charge me for a full sized garlic bread. I reiterated what was stated to me over the phone and the manager or owner that was there refused to honor what their staff had stated over the phone. They said they had no problem keeping the bread.... Save yourselves the time and energy and DO NOT come here! Prices are never consistent and now their customer service is less than satisfactory.

(as the kids say) It was crowded despite being early evening. The only available seats were at the bar area near the windows, which was fine because we were determined to experience the "new" place. We ordered the tuna tartare and lobstah rolls. The accompanying chips are homemade (slightly salty, but my taste buds are really close together). The host was attentive and gave us the royal treatment. We put this gem back on rotation and we are definitely returning!!!

As we stepped in, I had vibes of a dim sum place in Manhattan: round tables, bright lights, super clean. We ordered our drinks and went to the buffet. The food was fresh, gone quickly and replaced instantly. No off flavors, fried items tasted they were cooked in fresh oil, and just tasty! The waitstaff is fast. I mean, ask for drinks, at your seat in less than 3 minutes. That's lightning quick. The music was playing but at a volume that you can hear it but not have to shout to hear someone across the table. They made our experience and enjoyable one and dampened the blow on what would normally be a painfully rough day.

We went beyond the wings/apps page and got entrees and sandwiches too. I know. I know. We brought it upon ourselves. Rather than go into detail on our disappointment in a place we love. Just passing along the positive advice of eat as many dirt wings as you can. Guzzle gallons of their French onion soup - have whatever beverage you choose - and leave the other items right where they are and enjoy the wing and onion soup perfection. Always great!!! Service too.

Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

I was a but worried because the small lot in back of the building was already filling up and the free street parking in front was also limited. I did find parking on a side street near the cafe so that was good. Our server was so nice and attentive. Even offering recommendations when we were clearly undeceive about what we wanted. Food was delicious and filling. Also, gotta love when your server checks in and makes sure your cup of coffee is always full. We had a great experience and never felt rushed to leave even though it was a busy weekend morning. Definitely, adding to our list of places to ho back too for breakfast/brunch.

The cafe itself feels like many of the other no-nonsense breakfast places locally--clean, but nothing fancy in decor. However, they offered fabulous customer service and great food.

All this good food was very reasonably priced. I have a feeling this will become one of our regular stops in the future.

What a fun night! Came here with a couple of girlfriends. Started at the little lounge area, but…read moresoon took the party to the bar when we ran into another yelpie! Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!
