    I brought my family, 6 of us plus 2 dogs. We all loved what we had, very diverse brunch options and everything was delicious. Service was great, too. We were on the patio and quite happy and comfortable. We will be back.

    FABULOUS!!! These folks were the best!! We were celebrating our fiends 92nd birthday and unfortunately the day was over 100° here is SoCal. They say us inside as requested but by the door which was perfect for the noise level. The whole ambiance was perfect. Then the meals. All were too perfect. Our friend has a gluten allergy and their pancakes were gluten free! I love pork belly and they had a fabulous pork belly sandwich. All was wonderful. Our server was delightful and unfortunately I did not catch her name but she was all smiles and helpful with choices and service. Yes, we will definitely be back, hopefully when it’s cooler as I’d love to experience their patio. Great breakfast/brunch find!!!

    My birthday friend loved it. Location easy to find with a slight confusion on how to enter/find the glass door. On the slow side service but was good service still. Parking luckily is 2 hr free with validation.

    For average $24-$30 a plate I expected something better. The extra side dish of potatoes were burnt I understand I order crispy but I don't like to eat burnt food. The food portion is average but it doesn't seem anything special. It was a bit hectic for Saturday morning. My water cup was empty with no refill, the attention to detail just want there. The skillet uses about the same ingredients and tasted about the same. Heirloom tomatoes looks like supermarket tomatoes. The food looked better than what it tasted, but fortunately it's not flavorless. Not sure if I would make this my regular spot. The servers are friendly, which is the only plus got this experience.

    Food was delicious - space was cute, but honestly, nothing really stood out to me as exceptional. There was only one server for brunch who was also the host. He was friendly and sat us immediately. He served all the tables for the first half hour we were there so we didn't get much attention and it took awhile to get our check. Another mention is we asked if they had chocolate milk and he seemed confused and we repeated ourselves and then he nodded replying yes. Later, he came back to ask us if we wanted it hot. We said no, cold chocolate milk. When he arrived at the table, he provided our toddler a glass filled with iced chocolate milk. 1). Always assume a child needs a plastic cup 2) Chocolate milk is never iced. It probably would have been safer to just tell us no, you don't do chocolate milk there. However, he tried so I give him that. I love that the location is close to Segerstrom Center, so we were able to get to our show on time.

    Nice place to eat for quick brunch. Food was good and portions are well sized. The coffee latte with vanilla and lavender was so delicious.
