    Chili cheese fries
    Katelynn R.

    Came here to cure our hangovers and it was a great choice. Hamburgers were made fresh and very juicy. The fries are soooo good! Especially with their ranch! Service was attentive and pleasant as always. Inside was beautiful and they had the windows open so it was nice to feel the fresh breeze.

    We really liked visiting this café. Their food was very good and they have a very wide range of options on their menu. They serve beer and wine and smoothies. Location is great close to the water can see the lighthouse from the street. Service was good and the inside was very clean and nice. Was pricey tho

    We sat outside on a neighborhood street with a view of the lighthouse in the distance-well you could see it from the middle of the street. The Lobster Benedict and the Carnitas Omelette specials were delicious but the accompanying country style potatoes were not soft or well seasoned. Great friendly service!

    This place never disappoints. Beautiful day out and so really wanted to eat here after work (2pm) Delicious eggs Benedict Florentine style and good homestyle potatoes. Love that they have flavored creamer for coffee, some restaurants really don't?!!! My friend had a club Sandwich and we both had some leftovers for the next day. Quality of food is great and eventhough we arrived close to 230 pm (when they close at 3pm), service was still great, didn't rush us. And you can always do alil walk towards the beautiful view after breakfast or lunch :)

    Amazing . Such a gem of a place. It's located in a residential area in San Pedro. This place is the light to brunch/breakfast places. We wanted to go to our pancake and omelette restaurant today but it was super packed so we diverged and checked this place out. The quality of food was amazing the service was amazing and Ernesto our server was fantastic. He handled so much food and different orders when it was a packed house. Cheers to him and this great place. Can't wait to come back again. Ps the potatoe pancakes were delish

    Excellent breakfast selections. Food was delicious, priced decently, and everything was warm to got when it came out. We ordered the California omelette, side order of bacon, and a side order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was great and the service was fantastic. In my picture, that is not the whole side order of bacon, we had already eaten half of it.

Pretty, pretty, pretty good. For the omelette, the hero was the avocado. The rich and creaminess texture from the avocado made the omelette that much more enjoyable. The toast was crunchy and buttery. The coffee was a nice medium roast. The home-fried potatoes were good. However, I prefer mine a little more crispier. Seating is available at the counter, booths and in the small patio area. Service was very friendly and prompt. There is a very small parking area. I opted to park in the residential area.

It's a classic diner type restaurant that serves good quality food at a reasonable price. It took me a minute to select an omelette since there were so many options on the menu. But I ultimately settled on the avocado, bacon, and cheese omelette. It came with home fried potatoes. The omelette, on its own, was pretty good. It was hearty and filling. However, when paired with their slightly spicy salsa (which doesn't come with the dish, but you can ask for), it was fantastic. Seriously, ask for the salsa. You'll thank me later. Can't say much about the home fried potatoes. The potatoes were good, but nothing special. The same can be said about the service. I don't have anything good or bad to say about it. The server did everything you would expect from a server, nothing more, nothing less. One note about this establishment before I conclude this review. They prefer cash. If you pay with a card, they will charge you an extra $1.50.

There is this one incident that really hits home with me several years back. On my way to work, I work nights, I ordered via Yelp as always, and as I'm pulling up the shop, I realize I don't have my wallet. @#%$!! I'm friggen hungry, I look at my watch, I don't have time to go back home and get my wallet and still make it to work on time. I decide to walk in and tell them that I'm sorry to have ordered what I did and not have the means to pay for it. I'm thinking, what a waste of food! So, I walk in and I tell the owner what happened and that I apologize. Before I can walk out he says, "Hey, that's ok. I recognize you and things happen. Go ahead and take it and get me next time." Wow! Amazing! NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE! Now I'm not saying these guys are going to give you free food, but I will say they have HEART. A lot of establishes have lost heart, but they have it! So that's my feel good story for the year. Enjoy that bomb sandwich land tell 'em Sarge from down at the docks sent ya!

First time was brunch with coworkers after a weekend work event. Great food, strong mimosas, and an easy vibe that made it perfect for decompressing together. The steak benedict was rich and satisfying, and the salmon benedict on another visit was fresh and perfectly balanced. Second visit really sealed it for me. I stopped by solo with my dog and needed a receipt from almost a month earlier for an expense report. They went out of their way to help me track it down without any attitude or rush. Genuinely kind and accommodating. Third time was brunch with a friend, dog in tow again. Classic California weather, patio seating, sunshine, and mimosas. Exactly the kind of place you want to linger. Consistently good food, great drinks, and service that actually cares. If you like brunch that feels relaxed but still done right, this is it.

We had the miyagi oysters since they didn't have Kumamoto oysters that day. I'm not really a fan of huge oysters, I like the small kind. Honestly, every single thing that we had was amazing. I super appreciate our server for recommending things and giving her input on what to order. They change your silverware between appetizers and main course. Love it when they show that much care into allowing the opportunity for customers to have the best dining experience. Bathroom is super clean, 3 stalls, there's a hand washing area between the men's and women's, just in case you need it. This was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. Easy 5/5, exceptional service, incredible food. Loved this place. I highly recommend.
