    They are in their soft opening stages. Good to have another eatery establishment. Before this was Tabaita's that was around for two year and the longest tenant was Baker of Paris which was great neighborhood friendly. I happened to see a sign early in morning about Lobster Spaghetti which made me think maybe I should give this place a try then for an unique dish, I don't eat often. The meal was good to have for lunch. I enjoyed it. It is nice to have another Chinese restaurant nearby since the one by 19th and Taraval closed. At least I think it's Chinese or if not sorry I can't tell. Maybe it's French with breakfast items and lunch. Last time they advertised a ham and cheese sandwich . With a name like Marcel I thought it would be French, but since they are tinkering with their menu and opening hours we will see if they can keep this spot open. I am looking forward to see how this restraint will progress and if they can find their footing.

    Mom's Breakfast($11)

    Was running some early morning errands nearby and saw this cute cafe around the corner and decided to get breakfast here and was decently surprised! Arrived around 9am and the restaurant was empty and decided to grab a seat instead of takeout. Seated immediately and was brought over the menu and a glass of water. The ambiance was sort of laid back and chill. The interior of the cafe had simple and contemporary European flair along with a bed of roses that lined the walls; very cool! Service was quick, helpful and attentive. I ordered: 1) Mom's Breakfast Plate(8/10) - I know it is just eggs and bacon, but it was executed really well! The portions to price ratio is a great deal in the city! For $11, you get 2 over-easy eggs, 1 slice of white toast(cut into 2), 5-6 slices of American bacon, 2-3 slices of breakfast ham and 2 scoops of potato salad! The American bacon was cooked really well, just the right amount of crunch and bite, without it being burnt or hard. Eggs were cooked to perfection and ham was savory. Overall an awesome breakfast plate if you like ham/bacon or are looking for something protein packed for the morning. A suggestion to the owner would be to possibly give a small side of grape/cherry tomatoes to add some freshness and acidity to balance the savory and fattiness of the bacon and ham. I wouldn't even mind paying a $1 or so more for that inclusion. 2) Black Diamond Latte(8.8/10) - One of the better drinks that I've had so far this year! I opted for oak milk and asked for "lightly sweet" and it was just perfect. The drink had a slight nutty and earthly undertone along with the creamy oatmilk; really enjoy the drink! At first I thought it was black sesame, but was told by the waitress that it was charcoal infused and/or activated coconut; which was very interesting to learn. Would come back for this drink again when I'm in the area! *For milk options, they have: oat milk, almond milk, 2% and lactose free milk* As I was leaving, I saw that the table behind me had ordered the Avocado Prosciutto Tartine and the portion size was big for that dish too; will have to come back to try that as well! Definitely recommend coming here if in the area for brunch/lunch!

    You know it's a Summer San Francisco day in late October when the San Francisco Sunset Strip is hot and sunny. Walking down Taraval street towards the beach there a few restaurants and shops which have great food and drinks. On my Sunset Strip stroll on Taraval street I ran into a place which has only been open for a month and serves food , desserts and coffee. I thought it was flower shop from the outside looking in. So I decided to check it out. Walking inside Marcel felt so refreshing .The layout had flowers and plants surrounding the entire place felt very harmonious. The decor has roses on the walls and around the windows along with plants planted inside around Marcel. They have lots of tables and seats inside. Since it's still Pumpkin season I decided to try their Pumpkin Spice latte with almond milk. It was delicious and not too sweet and it had a smooth taste. I decided to try their croissant and it was tasty with some almond filling inside but it was pretty flakey like some in SF. Come to Marcel it's a good vibe. Next time I will have to try the drink pot over called Panama Geisha and the Vancouver Swiss Water Decaf also known as the Ice drip. Get a coffee to stay awake at "Marcel "and grab flaking croissants and other bake goods they "sell" you can feel the fresh plant and flower rose "smell"it's located on Taraval on the same block of KFC and "Taco Bell" The Pumpkin latte has never tasted more " smoother" has an international items names like the Panama Geisha and Drip Ice from" Vancouver "this is the new spot and I am the "approver" of the croissant flake test with my special routine and "maneuver "

    Valley Prosciutto Croissant

    Lovely new place! We had the Mom's Breakfast Plate, the Valley Prosciutto Croissant and the Apple Pie. The eggs, bacon and prosciutto were really good. The croissant was golden and flaky, while soft inside, and the apple pie crust was just perfectly buttery. The vibe was relaxing and the service was kind and attentive. And just like that it became one of my go-to places for breakfast, brunch or lunch!

    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.
