All of the food was exceptional. The Lime/Lemonade was Excellent and the cortados were perfect!! There was an open concept dining. When we first came in there was one party that was very very loud, (so much that everyone was turning around looking at them). They left after about 15 min, then it was better and not so loud. The music was loud, but not to the point where you couldn't hear the other person talking.

Although parking can seem to be a bit of a nightmare right in that plaza, we happened to get lucky and get a parking spot right in front. The line also wasn't too bad, they had several different brunch options to choose from with a few of the favorites listed. I ended up going with the chicken sausage wrap and my sister had the french toast with limeades as our drinks. All very delicious! Will definitely be coming back.

It's pay at the counter but other than that they bring everything to you and take good care of you. The food was delicious but they were out of sourdough so I had to order something I hadn't planned on but it was still really good. The little house that they turned into the restaurant is adorable and it sits so cutely in the Roosevelt neighborhood. My drink was absolutely incredible and I have been craving it since that day.

After seeing Lydia's on TikTok, my fiancée and I decided to go check it out yesterday (Sunday)…read moremorning. Since it's the weekend, we tried to get there early, around 8:30am, to beat the crowds. Luckily, we did. When we arrived, there were plenty of tables open and we were quickly seated. First impressions: The vibes are really nice. The decor is very aesthetic and picturesque. The staff were really nice. Since it was our first time, they guided us through the menu and went over their seasonal items. I ordered a Classic Breakfast and a Banana Walnut Latte. My fiancée ordered the Lydia's Seasonal Scramble and a Vanilla Waffle Cone latte. We shared a stack of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. We were very impressed with the taste of the food. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The pancakes were absolutely delicious! Probably some of the best we've had. The lattes were okay. Overall, it was a nice experience. We'd definitely go back.

We came here to celebrate my birthday and had made reservations for brunch. Unfortunately, we felt…read morerushed and got the impression that they wanted us to eat and leave as quickly as possible. My friend was finishing her pancakes and said she wanted to order something else to eat at the table. When she tried to order more, the server immediately responded, "Oh, to go?" Shortly afterward, the server and hostess were standing together and repeatedly looking directly at our table, which made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because of the pressure we kept feeling to leave, we asked whether there was a time limit on reservations. We were told there was not and that they were actually slower than normal, which made the repeated pressure to leave even more confusing and disappointing. We had also brought in 2 gifts and wanted to open them while celebrating, the server suggested that we could go across the way to Berdena's to do that instead and she would close us out. That really reinforced the feeling that they wanted us to finish up and leave rather than enjoy our time there. The decor is cute and the space itself is lovely, but we came to celebrate a birthday and expected to be able to sit, eat, talk, open gifts, and enjoy our time without feeling like we were taking up space. Sadly, that was not our experience. I don't think I'll be back.

We love Welcome Diner, and have been here many times. It is definitely not fancy, but it is exactly…read morewhat it should be. It feels very hipster and very retro and it just has so much personality. There is a lot of outdoor seating in what is essentially a front yard. There are tables and string lights and lots of trees and there are even a couple of playground horses. When you walk in there is a hostess desk kind of pieced together with different pieces of furniture and above it is a turning disco ball. Could there be anything better? There are booths all the way around, and there are no tables - - but you can sit at the long counter and watch your food being made. That really is the best place to sit because it is so interesting to watch them. It's amazing to me that they can keep all those balls in the air and still make all this food so delicious. There is a small bar off to one side. Make sure you go to the bathroom. The bathroom is nothing special, just a room full of graffiti and stickers, but if you look up you'll see the ceiling covered with little pinatas and a little donkey in the hallway. The menu is just what you would think for a diner menu. You can order breakfast or some sandwiches, burgers, Mac and cheese, and there is a selection of dinner entrees. Sitting at the counter we saw a plate with a steak being prepared and it looked absolutely fantastic. We were not really very hungry, and just wanted a quick small bite. Have you got that Welcome Burger, and I got the Sasha. Hubby said his Burger was good, although it was quite small. The Sasha has smoked pork and they put the pork on the grill and it becomes a crispy kind of Patty of shredded pork, then they put the crispy shredded pork patty on a noble bun with coleslaw and a fantastic horseradish sauce. My sandwich was a 10 out of 10 for sure! I kind of feel like in Phoenix there are some areas that you can go to or not, but welcome diner is a place that everybody should go to at least once. I really want to go back for breakfast which is kind of shocking because I'm not a breakfast person.

Such a cute spot. We usually come here for dinner, but breakfast didn't disappoint! The pancakes…read morewere perfectly sweet, fluffy, and loaded with berries, whipped cream, and syrup. My only suggestion would be to add a couple strips of bacon or sausage on the side to balance out all the sweetness. The chicken fried steak was also really good, it tasted quality and homemade, not like something frozen and reheated. The gravy had flavor, the eggs were cooked nicely, and the biscuit was great too. Everything felt comforting and made with care.

Went there on a Saturday morning. There was a little bit of a wait, but not too. Had a wonderful waiting area to sit with great vibes great music. Lively atmosphere. Being in Arcadia Neighbourhood, you see a mix of people. Everything from hipsters, to aunties and uncs, and people looking like they just left the set of Pop the Balloon or Find Love. As for the food, I had the catfish and grits. The catfish was cooked perfectly, well seasoned. Hot crispy fresh. The grits were a bit lacking as they were pretty runny but overall a good bite. Other people in my party got a short rib hash said it was delicious. The French toast and the pancakes are not anything different than what you get at any other high-end brunch spot. Prices of what you expect for a place like this, but all in all I would recommend.

I definitely enjoyed my meal. I appreciated the quality and flavorful combination of my fish, eggs and grits. The food came out quickly and tasted fresh. Service was good and my waitress was pleasant. She was friendly and helpful. I appreciated her good attitude. She answered all my questions with a smile. The ambiance was a VIBE! It's a fun and cool restaurant. The energy and music was amazing. It's a clean and nice space. It's decorated simply, but looks nice. I love they have an upstairs and downstairs. It was bigger than I expected inside. The drinks were amazing. I tried the Morning Margarita. It was STRONG and definitely a morning pick me up. It's a refreshing frozen cocktail perfect for this hot weather. The other cocktail I tried was Black Girl Magic. It was a vibrant tasty adult beverage. It's a blackberry lemon drop. The presentation was good on the drinks and food. I felt feeling happy, full and SATISFIED. I'm a fan and will be back. Good Food equals GOOD MOOD! Definitely make a reservation! Please note they have valet only parking!

Coming here was a real treat! This small French restaurant has two levels. The kitchen, which is…read moreopen, although behind a glass partition, and a coffee station with some Cafe tables is downstairs. Upstairs is a bar and a small dining room and a lovely patio complete with black and white striped draperies. Our server was our bartender and was absolutely lovely. In fact, both the bartenders were very friendly and engaging. They were also both very attentive. I started with a cocktail and hubby had a beer. It isn't a full bar, so they didn't have the ingredients for an amaretto sour, but they did for anegroni, so I was happy. We ordered off the restaurant Week menu and left there absolutely stuffed. We both started with the three jumbo shrimp, which really were jumbo. Hubby commented several time how good the control sauce was, and I agree. For entree, I had the duck with orange sauce and hubby had the filet au poivre . Both were so delicious. That also brought a large page of pmmes frite for the table, which in our case, was the bar. We finished it off with the chocolate mousse and the butter cake with cherries and almonds. The butter cake was a little more dense and dry than others I've had, but, big, was it good! I feel like the Melrose district has a lot of fantastic restaurants, and Brasserie Melrose is definitely one of them. Be mindful of the parking situation --their lot only has 3 parking spaces plus a handicap space. You may have to park and walk, so plan for that when you make your reservation.

What a nice surprise to find Brasserie Melrose! Parking isn't the easiest, and that's probably the…read moreonly downside. Everything else was great. The restaurant has two floors with both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio has a really cute vibe, especially when the weather is nice. We came for Happy Hour and, along with a couple of cocktails, ordered mostly from the Happy Hour menu. Our server, Beth, was super friendly and attentive. We got the Seafood Tower, Caviar, Foie Gras Mousse, Escargots, Tomato Tartare, and fries. Everything was delicious, and the seafood was nice and fresh. We really enjoyed every dish we tried. We can't wait to come back to try their brunch and dinner menus.

I had the delicious crab fried rice, which was the perfect level of spice for me at a 3 out of 5.

Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks, and our service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. I absolutely love Thai food, and this is a new downtown spot I'll definitely be returning to so I can try more of the menu. If you love exploring downtown, I'd definitely check this place out.
