Highly recommend this for families looking for a nice brunch! The kids menu was perfect for our one year old and three year old. My wife and I love the create your own omelette with potatoes. We went twice during our 4 day trip. I tried the color burst / latte art (Go Texans!) and the Bloody Mary with the sandwich! Both times the food and service were amazing!! The atmosphere while seated on sunset was memorable!
Cam was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we were seated, he brought such a warm, genuine energy to the table that instantly elevated our entire dining experience. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about every detail on the menu, and made thoughtful recommendations that were spot on. Cam anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and handled everything with professionalism. You can truly tell he takes pride in what he does and genuinely cares about his guests. Exceptional service like his is rare — Cam is the kind of waiter who turns a great meal into a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back because of him!
First off I want to express how amazing Cam, our server made us feel during our whole dining experience. He was lively and attentive to us as well as had the best recommendations! The ambiance and the food were incredible. Cam recommended the corn bread which was honestly one of the best corn breads we have ever tasted! We also enjoyed the eggs benedict which was savory and delicious! Thank you for everything!
Made a reservation but still waited ~20 min. The manager apologized and gave us 2 appetizers on house which definitely made the experience better. Homestyle cornbread - this was to die for! Wow so good especially with the honey. 5/5 Skillet baked lemon ricotta pancake - pancake was fluffy and moderately sweet with berries. 4/5 Croissant breakfast sandwich - good balance of sweet, salty, and buttery. Only complaint was that the croissant wasn't crunchy. 3/5 Short rib burger - the short ribs was a bit chewy, not tender. The dip made the ribs soften but not enough. 3/5 Truffle chicken sandwich - good truffle hot sauce. One complaint was the fried chicken was not crunchy. 3.5/5 The butchers wrap - my family really liked this one! Good mix of chicken, bacon, and veggies. For me, the sauce was a bit overwhelming. 4/5 Brunch avocado toast - a bit elevated avocado toast with radish and sunflower seeds. Overall easy egg was additional $5 though. 3/5 Lattes were yummy. Not too sweet. They charged $1 for vanilla. The service was friendly. The line of people waiting on tables was chaotic though. They need to really reinforce the time limit. Parking was free in the back but street parking for fee is available as well.
We went for brunch at 1:30 pm (indoor dining, table for 8) and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting and charming - bright, chic, West Hollywood‐style aesthetic. Our server, Shamera, was exceptional. She greeted us warmly, made thoughtful recommendations, checked in on us at just the right times, - without being overbearing, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Although a service charge was already included, we chose to tip extra because Shamera’s service genuinely stood out. Food was fresh, well‐presented, and enjoyable, in line with the high marks the restaurant gets for its menu of modern California cuisine with European influences and specialty coffee beverages. Best pancake I’ve had (Lemon ricotta). In short: a beautiful spot with great food and truly friendly, attentive service. We’ll definitely return!
