Cody, our server, was amazing! He was friendly, joyful, and helpful. We had the sandwich, the veggie omelette, and the Turkish eggs. All were really good. The bread they get from a local bakery was delicious. We also tried the yogurt bowl, which was great. And their coffee is also very good. Highly recommend for breakfast! (As a note, I was able to make a reservation on OpenTable for 11 am but their kitchen closes right around then. We had called so they were kind enough to make sure we were served but leaving here as a note for others to keep in mind.)

Eggs Benedict were cooked to perfection with a genuine Hollandaise sauce. Thin Swedish style pancakes with real maple syrup and thick sliced bacon. The dinner menu also looks good and again limited options. Better to have select items prepared well than a large variety of mediocre items. The 20% gratuity is added to your bill. They do not include the tax when calculating the gratuity. Sadly many restaurants do that these days. While we didn't stay for dinner, the menu looks good and the wine corkage fee is only $20.

Nobody came to check on us after the food was dropped off - we would have ordered another drink. We visited 2 years ago and had a much better experience. The fish tacos tasted like something was wrong with them and were saturated with a very wet pico de gallo and a cream sauce that tasted like thousand island salad dressing. I paid extra for a side of avocado and ate that with an extra taco shell for my meal. The whole fish was dry and flavorless.

Which was fresh and great tasting, but a bit too much bread for me. I had a side salad with a fantastic home made dressing. My wife ordered the Chicken panini and potatoes. It was also very good. The special of the day was the Red lentil Carrot coconut soup. Again, it was fantastic. For desert we had the Hokey Pokey sundae. The hot fudge tasted homemade also and I really enjoyed the honeycomb ice cream.

I ate a lunch in the courtyard and a dinner in the dining room, both very pleasant experiences…read more The ambiance is relaxed and casual with an extremely friendly and engaging staff. The look is very much a country cafe vibe, yet somewhat upscale too. The lunch outside was so enjoyable. The space and garden is delightful. Seating is far enough apart so you don't feel cramped. I started with the soup of the day which was wonderful. Then I chose the Rock Fish Tacos and oh my goodness, some of the best tacos ever. I liked that they didn't automatically fall apart when you picked it up. Plus the flavor and tenderness of the fish was spot on perfect. For dinner during a subsequent visit sitting inside at a cozy table was equally enjoyable. Four of us had a tough time choosing entrees as everything on the menu looked appealing. We started and shared the cheese board which was fabulous. Local cheeses were the highlight and ever so good. For my entree I chose the Gnochi with vegetagles. I very much enjoyed the overall dish but the gnochi were somewhat sparse and not that good in texture. Surprisingly that didn't impact the overall impression as everything else in the dish was satisfyingly delicious. It was an adequate portion and the price point good for the quality. We went through two bottles of wine, one suggested by the server. It was spot on. This is a delightful restaurant and if you're in the area definitely make it a stop for either lunch, when available, or especially dinner.

The back room is very casual - it was "seat yourself" so get here early if you want to snag a table by the window(s). The food was mixed - started with one of the specials: "Red & Gold Beet Salad" @ $17 - it was beautiful, but the white truffle vinaigrette was flavorless so the salad was bland. Tried another special: "Steak Diane" @ $40 - ordered medium-rare and it was way undercooked. Couldn't bring myself to eat it. The Grilled Rib Eye was good - was also on the rare side but husband doesn't mind. It was a treat to have some live music (Kendall Dean) - she was super. Servers were friendly. Was nice, but wasn't impressed with the room, and just bummed the meat wasn't cooked to order.

Previously we've walked through the restaurant to check it out but haven't eaten there...it always looked too "hotel-y" as far as an appealing vibe yet the views, of course, are lovely. And we were locals wanting to support our friend and the restaurant. Our server was sweet and attentive. I ordered a Grey Goose over ice with a twist....now at most bars, even in urban cities, that is not a martini, yet I was charged $14, which is the usual price for a mixed cocktail. Unfortunately, "with a twist" (lemon) came back with a lime twist and a lime slice. Boo. My burger ordered "medium" came back medium-rare to rare. Mind you, the place was not busy at all. The meat was of good quality which I appreciated, but still..it wasn't anywhere close to "medium". You can have fries or salad. $20. My partner's dish was pesto pasta with chicken....and it was swimming in oil. Cubed chicken...sadly the dish was mediocre with a hefty price of $35. The atmosphere is staid...somewhat empty on a week night. As mentioned, we went to support our musician friend....perhaps it's a bit more fun in the summer. And sunsets would be fabulous.

The place is lively, the vibes are great, and the service attentive- however, the food is another story. We started out with a michelada and a sangria - both were decent. Next ordered the bean dip that came with a beet hummus and a black bean dip plus bread to eat it with. The dips were just ok flavor wise, but the bread that it came with was burnt, overly salty and just not enjoyable. We were hungry and hoping this was just the wrong item to order. So we ordered the buffalo wings that took FOREVER to come out and it's probably because they were busy overcooking them- super dry chicken meat and the most unpalatable potato wedges that I have been served. Several pieces looked rotten and they were completely drenched in oil. No crisp, overcooked- disgusting. Paid $70 + tip and left hungry. Unfortunately, once we left there no other food places were open. Won't be back.

My groups faves: biscuits and gravy, Huevos Rancheros and omelets; We took home cookies and a Danish to go as well!! Service was fast, fun and friendly. Our waiter was extremely kind and patient with my Aunt that was super indecisive and had a ton of questions. He kept things light and gently teased her - and got all of our orders exactly right. That's priceless!

It's true that one could purchase a serviceable used car for what it costs to dine for two when including basic wine pairings. If dropping $2k on dinner and wine seems like an absurd or rapacious proposition, SingleThread certainly isn't for you. If on the other hand it seems like a rounding error or a perfectly reasonable leisure tariff, you're probably going to love every last minute of it. Because the meal was so elaborate, I won't go into detail other than to say it was brilliant. Out of the dozens (literally) of dishes we sampled, only one was poor; it had clearly been over-salted by accident. Otherwise, every moment of the evening was pure, flawless bliss. One thing that I could be persuaded to agree with is that the overall volume of food is a tad too much. They could easily do with one less savory dish and the elimination of the second round of desserts. As it stands, I walked out feeling somewhat uncomfortably full. First world problems though, right? All things considered, SingleThread is a grand slam home run in nearly every respect. And that includes the warm and highly attentive service, the lovely interior architecture, and the welcoming rooftop garden. I will not hesitate to recommend this amazing culinary oasis to friends and family for a long time to come.

Need to take pics next time. Next time was the next day, the gluten free thing made this an easy decision and I remembered to take pics beforehand. Grilled Octopus was tasty. We shared the seared ahi tuna and holy crap it was the bomb. The wasabi aioli and chili crunch was over the top yum.

The food was pretty great too. The miso guacamole was handmade from fresh avocados right in front of us. I really enjoyed the fried salt and pepper octopus too. Great sauce accompaniment. The two sandwiches we ordered were very interestingly on grilled bao buns which actually held together pretty well. I personally didn't love the pickled veggies but my husband enjoyed them.

The kale and cabbage salad was innovative with a fermented garlic vinaigrette dressing with crispy kale (never had that before) and marcona almonds. It was a substantial salad for two and was delicious - not too much dressing, the dressing wasn't overpowering, the cabbage was crisp - it all worked really well. Because they didn't have gluten free pizza crusts, got the asparagus, green garlic and speck pizza toppings over polenta, which came out sizzling hot in a pan. It probably was great as a pizza, but not great over polenta. The pizza's looked large, so instead of getting a pizza that would only be half eaten, ordered the radiatorre pasta with pork ragu as the second entree. The pasta was fresh, substantial and delicious. The ragu was good, not too saucy, but a little bland. It could have benefited from some fresh basil and a little more... oomph. The local wines - barbera and granache - were not our favorites so we ordered a bottle of sangiovese. Fairly pricey - it all came out to over $200.
