The grilled chicken was flavorful and moist and the salad was good, though they were very heavy on the dressing which was kinda overpowering. The service was good, though not exceptional, and the price was fine (seeing as we shared). The interior was as I remembered the the other Pea Soup Andersen's, very much old style diner with that quaint over the top klitsch. Oh we also had the chocolate chunk cookies and they were yummy and probably the best deal of all we had there.

First time staying at the hotel and had reservations for dinner at The Kitchen for our anniversary…read more They have a mix of indoor and outdoor seating ( large outdoor patio) and were pretty busy when we arrived. We were seated at a table inside promptly and waitress was friendly / quick to check in. Ordered the baked Brie, halibut, and King's cut prime rib. Execution on everything was really good and food tasted great. Was disappointed they didn't make any references to the occasion we were celebrating or bring anything fun out. Overall was really surprised a restaurant of this caliber was in the area. Would certainly come again.

We came here last month and grabbed takeout, and honestly, the food was great! So today, we decided…read moreto come back and actually sit down for a meal. Party of 3 -- how hard could this be? We were initially told there would be a 20-minute wait, which was totally fine. Then things got a little... interesting. Two different staff members told the greeter at the front that our table was ready, but we were still asked to keep waiting. About 15 minutes into our wait, a party of 7 walked in and was told they would have a table ready for them. At that point, we decided our party of 3 had apparently been moved to the "please continue waiting indefinitely" category and we left. What made this especially strange was that there were five tables for four open. We understand that restaurants get busy and that seating can be complicated, but this situation just didn't make sense. If a table is available and staff are saying it's ready, why keep guests waiting while a much larger party is welcomed in? The food may be great, but the customer experience left us scratching our heads. Every customer should feel like they're important -- whether they're a party of 3, 7, or even just one person. Hopefully management can take a look at what happened, because this was a very unusual experience.

From…read morethe moment I walked in, the nostalgic decor and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. I opted for the chicken parmesan sandwich, and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked to a golden crisp, while the marinara sauce added a rich, tangy flavor that complemented the dish beautifully. The generous layer of melted cheese on top was the icing on the cake, making each bite utterly delightful. The fries served alongside were equally impressive--cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crunch. They were seasoned well and made an excellent accompaniment to the sandwich. Overall, this diner encapsulated everything one could hope for: quality food, prompt service, and an inviting ambiance. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another meal. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or just looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal, this diner is definitely worth a visit.

I was in Patterson for an appointment and jumped on Yelp to see where I could catch a sandwich…read more Patterson Cafe popped up with good reviews. Plus, I had always wanted to try a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich. It's located in a small strip mall in view of the freeway. There are EV charging stations in the adjacent lot. The interior of the restaurant is bland with only chips and drinks displayed. A few small tables inside. The lady that helped me was extremely friendly. I asked her what the most traditional Banh Mi was and she said that it was the pork and ham. I ordered that and an iced Vietnamese coffee. The coffee is solid. Extremely flavorful. She said that they use condensed milk in the coffee. The sandwich was good. The flavor is interesting and the jalapeños give it a jolt. Good bread and I think it was slightly toasted. All in all a good lunch.

Ordered one chocolate chip pancake and it was pale on one side, brown on the other. Receipt said it cost $2.06 to add chocolate chips, making the entire, singular pancake about $10. You pay at the register, but none of the servers could be found by the register. Overall, it felt like we were overpromised with our food, under-served, and disappointed with this experience.

Truly an excellent restaurant…read more My wife and I were on a road trip and were drawn in by the beautiful flower arrangements and the storefront sign, so we decided to have breakfast here. Atmosphere: This is a black bear-themed restaurant. The interior decorations are delightful, including the log accents and bear-themed items--there's even a great selection of bear-themed merchandise. The seats are spacious and comfortable, the table settings are clean, and there's not a speck of dust on the windowsills. Truly beyond expectations. Service: The staff member at the front--was she up too early? I didn't feel she greeted us with the energy this place should offer. Once we sat down, however, the other servers were very warm and enthusiastic--they introduced the menu, offered recommendations, and provided service with a smile. When I used to run my own restaurant, I always told my team: "Taste is subjective--you can't please everyone. But if guests feel they've received impeccable service, they won't leave a bad review. On the other hand, if the food is amazing but the service is lacking, they'll never come back." Taste: The service and atmosphere are ultimately just ways to enhance the meal. Eggs Benedict: The eggs were cooked to perfection, the roasted potatoes were just the right size, and the side salad was huge yet well-balanced--not too heavy in flavor. Using baby spinach instead of romaine lettuce was a very nice touch. Steak and eggs: I asked for medium-rare, but I think it was a bit overcooked--closer to medium-well. Coffee: Excellent. After we ordered, the staff very kindly told us that the food might take a little while and asked us to be patient. Meanwhile, the menu and table settings introduced the restaurant's history, which helps guests avoid feeling frustrated by a long wait. I thought that was a very nice touch. I used this same method in running my own restaurant--by consistently leaving a strong impression on customers, you encourage them to return. If the owner is interested, I'd be happy to share a few more tips from my own experience running a restaurant. If I'm ever on another road trip, I will definitely come back. All the best!
