Truffle fries were crispy with good seasoning, definitely one of the better ones. Carnitas nachos were loaded and great for sharing. The mac & cheese kids meal was simple but perfect for the kids. Prices were pretty affordable for what you get, which made it even better. Service was smooth and food came out quick even though it was busy. Only reason not a full 5 is it can get a little loud and crowded, but overall a great spot after a long day out.

Attentive and refilled our drinks frequently (super hot that day). Food - we ordered the BLT, Tri-Tip sandwich and the French Dip. We also had the massive onion rings as an appetizer (one order enough for our family). All the sandwiches were huge and delicious. None of us finished our food. Prices were reasonable. Expect to spend $20-25/person here. We really loved the history and ambience of the restaurant. The service and food were superb. We'll be back.

Just outside the restaurant, you can see them smoking the tri-tip which added to the experience and to the craving of the sandwich. First, the nachos were pretty good, they were heavy handed on the chips and filling and made for an enjoyable eating experience and the flavors of it were pretty good as well. Now to the the tri-tip sandwich, we loved the sandwich as the meat was really tender to the point that the sandwich doesn't disassemble when you bite into it. The flavor of the meat itself really good and I would definitely come back just for the sandwich alone Service/Ambiance We had arrived right around opening time and the place was already starting to get packed. Parking is just along the road so take note of that and it was really full by the time we were leaving. For our party of two, we got seated pretty much right away inside the restaurant. The vibe of the place was really nice as it had that old style homey feel and being surrounded by nature added to the nice ambiance. The staff were nice and service of the food was relatively quick as well, overall a really great experience

I love that they always reinvent the menu and the best part is their rooftop events. You can find the events on their website. From happy hour to brunch or lunch the food here will not disappoint. I especially enjoy their deviled eggs. Simple but delicious and I love that they're pink from being pickled. For cocktails I'm always down with O.P.P. a prickly pear hibiscus cocktail that hits every time. My latest visit brought me in for the Chef's Table Crawfish boil. This took stage on the rooftop of the Canary Hotel. Chef John Vasquez and team really outdid themselves by making this a memorable experience! We sat communal style and they rolled out the Louisiana style crawfish on the table. They were a beautiful reddish orange color and tasted just like the sea. It also came with potatoes, corn, artichoke, sausage and clarified butter for dipping. I do wish it was a little more seasoned, but I don't know if that's possible with the shell on. Nonetheless it still was delicious! Paired with some brews from Validation Ale and it was the perfect combination. The views, staff, vibes and people is what made the evening a memorable experience. Overall, a great restaurant to check out at the Canary Hotel.

You can get new tires next door, but while you're waiting, you can catch breakfast or lunch. Outdoors, there's a lot of seating. Wooden tables and wicker chairs. Awnings and large umbrella coverings. You pay first, and then they seat you. There's some seating indoors, but it's limited, compared to outdoors. I ordered a latte ($5.50) and avocado toast ($16). They add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. There is a window for to-go orders, but if you're dining in, you place your order with the gal at the podium. I have to say, although there were two staff working on drinks, my latte took a while. Luckily, it came before the food. There was a staff member waiting at the counter and delivering just drinks. Once I got my latte, it tasted good. Strong. I felt the caffeine. The avocado toast was good, too. It was served in a shallow metal dish. Thick, high quality, Artisan bread. I enjoyed the toasted pumpkin seeds. I would definitely order it again, but open to ordering something else on the menu next time. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. There was another gentleman standing in the back, immediately clearing tables. It's better if you come earlier on the weekends. There was a line of people when I was leaving. There's plenty of free street parking. I parked across the street.

But there was nothing special about the way it was made and my gf couldn't even eat the brisket due to the consistency of it. I could taste the profit margins with each bite. The best summary of it - later in the day a friend asked "how was it?" and we kind of looked at each other with quiet disappointment. On the bright side, this may have been the catalyst I needed to actual try being a pescatarian.
