    Two-egg platter with corned beef hash
    Star S.

    Heather was amazing!! Me and my boyfriend came here on a Tuesday morning and we had a wonderful breakfast experience. Oh my goodness the cinnamon roll french toast was to die for! I was worried it would be too heavy like most Cinnabons are.... But it was perfect. I got the grand breakfast. I got mine with egg whites, crispy bacon, and obviously the cinnamon roll french toast. They were two petite sized rolls and they didn't have any frosting, but that's what made them so perfect and not heavy. Heather advised us that these were special homemade ones and a must-try. Sooooo good and happy. My boyfriend got the 2 egg platter with hash brown, and of course the highly recommended pumpkin muffin. Another winner! Heather was very attentive, kind, help, patient... all the things that add to a wonderful guest experience. I was indecisive at first, and she was quick to offer her advice of the best flavors... and she was right! She was quick the refill our coffees, we didn't have to ask for anything, because she offered everything that we needed without having to wait or ask. We had a lovely breakfast date and recommend this place to anyone :)

    I decided to go to Mimi's for old time's sake. It's been a while since the last time I set foot in one. We were the first ones there on a Tuesday morning. The booth we were given seemed a little old and the seat was lumpy. Our server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the brie mushroom and bacon omelet. Presentation was aesthetically pleasing. My favorite part was the slabs of melted brie cheese on top! That was divine. I would order that again. For an old diner like this, the service does make a huge difference. We'll be back for sure.

    The food was great that's why we come back ! Our server was very nice ! I'm love the art work that they have on the walls, each picture is different in style! No wait for a Sunday morning!

    Eggs and corned beef hash
    calliope s.

    We were greeted with no wait ! Our server tended to us quickly and very politely . The food came out quickly and it was a decent portion (20 for the eggs and hash plate ). The food itself I did not love at all , it was pretty bland . The hash was a little over cooked so it was super rough almost like a beef jerky . The potato's were extremely bland as well .

It makes it difficult to exit when there's other people dining there and waiters moving around. Loved all of the cat decorations and how they kept the red theme going. It's quite dim, but personally that's preferable to it being extremely florescent and bright. Service: Johannes was very pleasant. Food: We came because we wanted to eat escargot. Our favorite French restaurant, Le Gourmet in Upland closed in 2024 or 2025 so we needed to find a new French place. The lamb loin in lingonberry sauce was wonderfully complex with the savory cheese complemented well by the sweet lingonberry. The escargot was perfect. The only caveat was that we tried the pastries of the day -- one was a puff pastry, forgetting the flavor/name and some kind of cake, maybe Napoleon? We did not care for the desserts at all, if I were to get another dessert I'd probably stick with the crème brulée. The bread and salty whipped butter were delicious, seemed house-made? The bread was slightly sweet and I had to hold myself back from gorging on it. Parking: Parked in a nearby garage for $20. I think there was an event going on.

Like true Parisian style, you'll need to make a reservation because seating is limited and this spot is quite popular. My boyfriend and I were very fortunate they had a table available when we visited (we didn't know it was reservations-only) but the staff kindly seated us. Next time, I'll definitely call ahead. Right away, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming mother-daughter duo. They patiently walked us through the menu and shared the specials of the day. The chef himself came out to say hello and even took the time to explain a few items we were curious about. Soft French music plays in the background, creating such a calm, inviting atmosphere. *Plain Croissant: A perfect classic. Flaky on the outside, soft on the inside; it's exactly what you'd want from a traditional croissant. I'd come back just for their pastries alone, though this time I was excited to try their savory breakfast items. *Croque Monsieur: Absolutely delicious and wonderfully authentic. I ordered it with ham in the traditional style, and it came with creamy béchamel and melted cheese layered perfectly on top. The portion was generous and satisfying. You can add an egg to turn it into a Croque Madame. This came with a Provençal tomato and a potato pavé on the side, both of which were flavorful and beautifully prepared. The pavé, with its delicate layers, was such a standout. I haven't seen these sides offered at other French restaurants in the U.S., and I'd honestly return just for them. *Machaca Frances: My boyfriend ordered this dish, and it was such a pleasant surprise as a creative, well-executed blend of flavors. The short rib was incredibly tender, paired with potatoes, caramelized onions, and more, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. The fresh pico, sauce, and avocado on top tied it all together perfectly. When my boyfriend mentioned he was eyeing this dish, the chef smiled and said the machaca filling was similar to beef bourguignon, and he was right! It had that same rich, deep, savory flavor. If they ever have actual beef bourguignon on the menu, I'd order it in a heartbeat based on how good this was. *Side salad: This had fresh greens, carrots, and caramelized onions, with oven-roasted tomatoes, and more, drizzled in a rich balsamic reduction.You could tell a lot of effort went into even the salad, and it tied the dishes together beautifully. This café really reminded me of France, which I miss so much. The space is clean, the atmosphere is warm, and you can tell the staff knows their regulars well. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Spots like this are rare for both atmosphere and traditional French cuisine, especially around here, which makes Café La Reve feel even more special. I'm already planning my next visit to try their sweet breakfast options and maybe a lunch entrée. I saw in another review that they also offer dinner on Fridays by reservation, something I'm excited to experience soon. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness and hospitality. Café La Reve is a true gem, and I can't wait to come back.

Inside, the ambiance reminds me of Nor Cal - SF with a cool neighborhood restaurant where the surrounding area melts away. It's classy yet unpretentious. We took my Yelp friend Lori out for her birthday and we all chose the price fixe meal. The entrance can be confusing only because the front door jams shut and one has to go through the back of the restaurant. You get 4 course plus a bread course and amuse bouche. Let's pause for the bread course. This bite sized piece of heaven is otherworldly. They need to serve more of it throughout the meal. The chef's starter was lovely and then we settled into our meal. It will be European style service so definitely let them know if you need to hit a show or movie. From the four courses we tried a bit of everything: Beef tartar (wonderful and innovative version of this dish), foraged mushrooms, charred cabbage, beet passionfruit salad, filet mignon, duck confit, and the only dessert that matters: charred butter cake. All were stellar!! Not a miss on the menu and all at 5 star quality. We also had tea and a cocktail, again both were outstanding. The service needs refinement though. It's a step below Michelin level fine dining indeed. I brought two bottles of wine, corkage $25 each, and never once was our glasses filled. I filled up everyone's glasses all night. This was irritating as not only did I pay corkage, but they added $10 tip to corkage with automatic 20% tip at end. The server did not deserve that extra $10 although she was lovely throughout the meal except for one more misstep. After the main meal was over, I wanted to have some more of that wondrous bread and was told the kitchen was closed. We were never warned about this. Every restaurant tells the guests at least 15 minutes before the kitchen closes. Other than those minor mistakes, this was a fine dining meal not found anywhere else in this part of S Cal/Riverside County. Highly recommended!!

I'm someone that has been working in the food and beverage industry for years, but it doesn't take that experience to see that the restaurant was clearly full. Our server was tending to every table on the bar side including ours and was attentive and kind. The table next to us was making a scene and acting like our server was supposed to wait on them hand and foot. We were having a great time and decided to ignore them for a while, but eventually we noticed the gentleman from that table get up and follow our server into the kitchen when she was clearly in the middle of something. She informed him that he could not be in the employee's only area and to that he told her "Shut up, I'm not listening to you anymore". We're not sure if he felt like he had the right to talk to her like this because she's hispanic, but there is no excuse.

    This place is incredible. From the cuisine, the ambiance, to the service - definitely a hidden gem…read moremore people should visit! Restaurants like this are extremely rare in Orange County. Food - everything we've had is delicious, but my absolute favorites are the Hamachi Crudo appetizer and the Diver's Scallop Symphony. Husband loves the Lobster Bisque, Pork Belly Ssam, and the Umami Steak. You really can't go wrong, everything else we've tried has got great blends of complementary flavors and were delicious. It's obvious that Chef Andrew puts a lot of care and thought into his art. Service is great - attentive, mindful and personable. We've only been twice so far and they remembered us. Ambiance is amazing also - clean, cozy and feels so inviting and warm. Looking forward to our next meal at The Wild Artichoke.

    I've had this restaurant bookmarked for almost a year, so I'm glad we finally made it out for lunch…read moretoday. Knowing how popular it is for brunch, I made a reservation through Resy, which was easy enough. We arrived around 11:30, and the bakery next door was already packed, with nearly every outdoor table occupied. That pretty much confirmed the raving yelp reviews! The restaurant is charming with that comfortable neighborhood French bistro feel where you can settle in for a leisurely lunch. And a small detail I really appreciated is that the bistro tables have purse hooks on the side. Anyone who has ever tried to figure out where to put a handbag at a tiny café table will understand why this deserves a mention. Since it was our first visit, we decided to order several things and share. Portions turned out to be more generous than I expected. Loup de Mer (sea bass special) was my favorite dish of the meal. The fish had a really nice crisp on the outside, but it didn't taste fried or greasy. Inside, it was still tender. I also liked the mashed potatoes more than I expected; they were light, not overly buttery, and seasoned just enough. Even the zucchini was good, which I usually treat as the vegetable I'm supposed to eat rather than the part I actually want. Ham Benedict was easy to like. The eggs were poached just right, with runny yolks that mixed into the hollandaise once you cut into them. No sad, overcooked egg situation here. The roasted fingerling potatoes were so creamy, so dangerous in the best way. Couscous aux Légumes surprised me in a good way. I honestly didn't expect to like this one as much as I did. The couscous was fluffy, the squash had a nice sweetness to it, and the chickpeas made the whole thing feel more substantial. It didn't come across as the token vegetarian dish on the menu. I kept going back for another bite. Salmon Tartare wasn't buried under a ton of lemon juice. You could still taste the fish, which sounds obvious, but isn't always the case with tartare. The yuzu mayo worked well with it and helped cut through the richness. I did wish the capers came through a little more; I wanted just a bit more saltiness and bite. The toast was spot on, though. Crisp enough to hold everything together, but not so hard that you're fighting with it between bites. By the time we finished, everyone was comfortably full, so dessert will have to wait for another visit. Parking around here is admittedly not the easiest, especially during the weekend lunch rush, but I wouldn't let that stop me. Circle around a little and eventually something opens up. And since we had already resisted dessert at the table, we naturally walked next door afterward and left with macarons and French butter instead. Apparently we need to work on self-control. A very enjoyable first visit with attentive service, and this is one I'd happily come back to. Next time with enough room left for the dessert.

There were plenty of tables available when we walked in on a Sunday and were seated immediately. Wanting to try a few things, our party of four ordered: * Corbeille Pain et Beurre Francais $5 - Who doesn't love French butter? 4/5 * Le Steak Tartare $23 + egg yolk $2 - One of the main reasons we came and their version was not exciting. 3/5 * Ratatouille $8 - Again, their version was just okay. It's more of a stew and a tomato-heavy one. 3/5 * Escargots $14 - We always love escargot, but definitely needed more bread to enjoy all the butter. Do note that their version has almond and hazelnut in their butter. We did end up ordering another one. 4/5 * Terrine de Campagne $12 - The duck and pork pate was just okay again. 3/5 * Tartare de Saumon $17 - This dish was simply salmon, avocado and mayo and reminded us of something we would get at a Japanese restaurant. 3/5 Overall, we were just underwhelmed by the whole experience - from the food and the service. I honestly don't remember much about the service as it being just fine. I had really high hopes for this place, and even checked out the dessert menu in search of a better ending. Instead, we just got desserts from their sister bakery next door. Perhaps their entrees would have been a better choice.
