    We were going to go to the Himalayan restaurant next door but decided to eat at Twins because it was busy and dishes looked good on peoples tables. Server was super nice. We got the lemon ricotta pancakes, beet and goat cheese salad and Monte Cristo sandwich. My sister enjoyed her pancakes, I tasted it and found them a bit soggy. The salad was disappointing. Just didn't have a good balance of flavors. Dressing needed more acid and less orange bits, more bits and I don't think there was any pecans. I love monte cristo sandwiches and will try them any place I go for brunch. This was ok. I did not like flavor of the SMOKED ham. It was too strong on the French toast. Also, their syrup did not taste like real maple syrup but the fake high fructose corn syrup.

    Breakfast Special:  Pastrami Hash with Sunny-side eggs
    Tracy W.

    Another great Yelp referral (yum). We had the breakfast special of Pastrami Hash with home-made jam. I love a good "hash" with real potatoes and sunny-side eggs and I wasn't disappointed. Coffee was freshly brewed perfect. We took advantage of the outdoor ambiance of morning sun and dined al fresco at the picnic tables. Service was spot on. Will come back.

    Breakfast Tacos

    I had breakfast this morning at The Twins with my family. We have been coming here since they opened back in 2020. During the Covid shutdown, they became my go-to takeout. They used to write positive phrases and messages on their takeout containers to give people a sense of hope and love for the community. Once we were able to dine outside they opened a nice patio area in the parking lot and it was great. The Twins themselves are wonderful servers/hostesses and they also have a great staff of other servers as well. I am so glad they got through those times and still continue to offer great food to the neighborhood. Their menu is sort of a mix of New Orleans, Mexican and generic American breakfast dishes. They do everything pretty well! I am a big fan of their breakfast tacos as much as I love their beignets and French toast! They also have really good sandwiches at lunch! This morning, I had their breakfast tacos, which are very messy but delicious! My wife had their special omelette, which was stuffed with zucchini, spinach and feta cheese. I love supporting our local restaurants and I think they are worth a visit even if you are coming from out of town.

    Full Order Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
    Rudy D.

    Great food great service I had the full order of biscuits and gravy and a side of crispy bacon, my wife had the two eggs plate with country potatoes and a biscuit with two extra sunny side up eggs. We got there as soon as it opened and started feeling up quick for a Monday and also got to meet one of the twins who was very sweet and talkative with all the guest. Definitely gonna make my way back and try out their chilaquiles.

    Perfect place for a hearty meal. Service is friendly and they keep your coffee cup full. The country fried steak and eggs is delicious and tasty. Definitely coming back

    The food here is a step above most diners. So happy to see this place is continuing to receive wonderful reviews. We arrived after the weekend rush and to our surprise, there were open tables! We normally sit outside but decided to sit in their dining room since it felt spacious and peaceful. It is comfortable and clean inside with some artwork on the wall. One of the sweet twins greeted us and invited us to take a seat of our choice. Their menu provides a nice variety of breakfast and lunch options plus a list of specials noted on the wall. My husband saw several things he wanted to try but finally narrowed it down. We decided to order: Eggplant breakfast - breaded eggplant with mushroom gravy, country potatoes, 2 eggs and enormous biscuit Tri tip benedict with bearnaise sauce (special of the day) Grilled chicken sandwich I spotted our server's twin! I wonder if they purposely dress the same to keep us guessing. lol ! They are both so cute and definitely one of the highlights of this place. Warm, welcoming, friendly and ready to help make your dining experience a pleasant and memorable one. They both work non-stop ensuring their guests are having a good time. Our server was refilling coffee, hot water for the tea and iced water without us having to even think about asking. Our dishes looked amazing but it tasted even better. I often order chicken sandwiches and this one was by far the best I've ever had. Honest! I loved the arugula, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, pepper jack cheese with a lemon aioli sauce. The bun is not your typical bun. It is light but hearty and doesn't fall apart as you're trying to enjoy your sandwich. It was quite a lovely sandwich and I enjoyed the hand cut fries too. There was no way I could eat the second half, so lucky me I have leftovers for tomorrow. Our server did mention that the chicken sandwich is one of their most popular dishes. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed their lunches too. They said everything was seasoned well and tasted fresh and homemade. The tri tip was tender and the eggplant was prepared well and covered in a nice mushroom gravy. My husband really enjoyed his fluffy biscuit too with the homemade preserves. Our tummies were very satisfied and happy as we left. We are looking forward to returning and enjoying some of their other delicious creations. There are a half dozen tables outside on the sidewalk. Plenty of parking shared with other restaurants, shops and Oliver's Market.

    Chicken Fried Steak.  Really good but different

    Awesome service! Small homely restaurant with great food. Portions were huge. They had so many of my favorites, so we will be back if in the neighborhood again.

    Crab Louie Salad.

    Fantastic local Cotati restaurant! Crab Louie salad was fresh and delicious. My husband had the crab melt on sourdough, and he loved it too!

    Huevos Rancheros
    Kim G.

    Love, love, love this place. The food is delicious and plentiful. The staff is friendly and efficient. I come here anytime I'm in the area. Love the Benedict - lots of fresh cooked spinach on top of their homemade biscuits. One of the best Benedicts ever. Friend had the huevos and almost licked the plate. The BLT was huge and delicious as well.

    2 Eggs Country Potatoes Biscuit
    Michelle M.

    We've been coming back to this area for a class once a month, and stopping here for breakfast has been a must to try a new plate. Service continues to nice and lively. Overall, it's a pleasant and welcoming experience each time and the food is delish.

    Waffle
    Stuart C.

    Went specifically for the waffle with real maple syrup. It was tender inside and crispy on the outside, Flavor was good. The staff are very friendly and service was attentive.

    Adorable place with theme of The Twins!!!
    Rhonda C.

    Excellent service and scrumptious food!!! Outstanding establishment and will be back!!!

    Portions too burnt to eat. I've ordered this same dish & it's usually tender and succulent. This shouldnt have been served.

    I've never been disappointed with The Twins; their dishes are usually top tier. Generous and delicious. Today, however, I had an order to go for a pulled pork sandwich that was not up to par. The meat was way overcooked- see black burned portion in photo - dry and stringy. For $18 I expect much better. Thankful I ordered additional sides or I would still be hungry. Please be consistent.

    We tucked into The Grove (with reservations) on a rainy Friday for an early dinner. Despite having…read morethree menus - drinks, dinner, and happy hour - choosing what to order didn't feel overwhelming, and we quickly landed on the anchovy toast, beet salad, shrimp & grits, and mushroom risotto. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the entire room shared the same warm, easygoing vibe. The small, speakeasy themed space was already packed at 5 PM, so reservations seem like a must. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and delicious, but the standout dishes were the beet salad and the shrimp & grits. The beet salad had a perfect mix of textures; chopped pistachios, tender beets, and crunchy radishes over a pillowy ricotta. I finished the salad wishing there was more. The shrimp & grits featured a potlikker sauce that absolutely lived up to the hype; it made the dish. I wish the shrimp & grits were served in a bowl rather than a shallow dish. I found myself chasing the sauce and polenta around the plate, trying not to push it over the edge. That said, if it were in a bowl, I might have just drank the sauce, so perhaps this is the restaurant's way of preserving a bit of dignity for its guests. Next time, I'm hoping to visit when oyster po' boys and fried green tomatoes are on the menu.

    I've been meaning to check this place out since they opened, and finally made it in today--worth…read morethe wait. It absolutely lives up to the hype. The vibe is effortlessly chill, with whimsical decor--think antique lamps, an old record player, and lots of little details that make you want to look around. The whole place felt alive in the best way--buzzing with conversation, laughter, and people clearly having a great time. We didn't have a reservation, but lucked out with seats at the community table. Bonus: the other guests were super welcoming, which just added to the fun, communal feel. We hit happy hour, and wow--it's a good one. Tons of interesting bites and a solid drink lineup. I went with a whiskey sour, my friend had the ginger beer on draft (very refreshing), and we shared the prawns, Brussels sprouts, and creamy mac & cheese. Everything was seriously delicious. Shoutout to our server, Melanie--friendly, attentive, and totally on it, even with the place packed. A couple things to note: it does get loud, so maybe not your spot if you're after a quiet, intimate dinner. Also, the happy hour menu listed Brussels sprouts but didn't mention bacon--I'm vegetarian, so that was a bit of a surprise. (It is noted on the regular dinner menu, which I admittedly didn't check.) All in all, such a fun, lively spot. I'll definitely be back for more bites and cocktails.

    This place was amazing! I got the Harvest Bowl and was blown away. The portions were insane, almost…read moretoo much, but better than having not enough I'd say. The flavor of the curry sauce was addictive. It wasn't spicy, just super flavorful. I ate way more than I I could handle, but that's because it was so insanely good. The vegetables were all cooked properly, to a soft comforting chew, and the rice pulled everything together. 11/10 would highly recommend! My only concern was that I would love to see a vegan option for something with french fries. Other than that this place was a nice gem. The guy working the counter was very friendly and has a vibe that could put anyone in a good mood.

    I had to pick someone up in the shopping center, i was hungry, and i had seen this place advertised…read moresomewhere. It sounded good...smoking bowls. It was late, i guess 45 min before closing. Looking at the menu it all looked great, creative etc. i asked the server shot the food and he said oh everything is made from scratch., etc. we're got two bowls, the dragon bowl and the roast beef bowl to go. We got them home and opened them up. The roast beef bowl was described as being served over a bed of home made mashed potatoes topped with home made gravy and special horseradish sauce. Tasting it, it was a way too salty and the meat was so mushy it blended way too seamlessly with the brown gravy to my taste, ie it was all a mush of sauce over more mushy mashed potato! But i preferred its flavor over the dragon bowl, but definitely did not taste like a home made beef gravy from scratch, it was on the overly thickened by corn starch side, with that fake bouillon taste. Dragon Bowl looks good, topped with crunchy cashews that had slight rancid taste, and fresh green onion. And sadly, the chunks of chicken in it were hard, ie tough, precooked for who-knows-how-long-tasting; old tasting. And the sauce was way too sweet. I was disappointed with the $35 bill. We took the food to go. Once we tasted it at home we basically threw it all in the garbage. What a waste but, yuck. Sorry! Ambiance: The place was empty of patrons, and felt like it was closing now even though they still have 45 min. Our two bowls were ordered were handed to us super fast after ordering, like it took no time to prepare, explaining the poor flavor and quality we experienced, plus look at what others have written about all this premade fast food. I want to give one star, but I'll give 2, in benefit of the doubt they were trying to close early and rushed things vs if it were earlier in evening with more clientele.

With Marvin's in the same parking lot, and places like The Twins, Cafe Mimosa, and Chila-killer Cafe only a few minutes away, this place is going to be a hard pass from us in the future. 0/5 stars.
