Julia Ortega was an amazing server. She was kind courteous and had a lot of care in making sure we enjoyed our meal. She even made sure that our dietary restrictions were met! Amazing job, Julia!

This place never disappoints my cravings from Stephanie's kitchen! Laos papaya salad is the best I've ever had and I have to travel all the way from Texas and Arizona for that amazing pile of deliciousness. Recently just started eating the crab rangoon because it is a special recipe that they use. Can never go wrong with any of their soups and bonuses they are open late 1am close order food by 1230am which has been challenging ever since covid killed restaurant hours. Allie the bartender is super sweet and will help you through the menu if you need help picking out something to eat. If you're in the mood for Dungeness crab this is the place to try it.

I really enjoy this restaurant. As a diabetic it’s hard to find breakfast places that I can eat at, but I can eat here and it’s good. They have a good variety of healthy but flavorful options. I tried lunch and had their turkey sandwich with soup it was great. They have a good kids menu my son loves their waffles. The only thing is I wish that they had more sugar free drink options. Like sugar free juice or soda.

Service is very nice. Food is good as well. Love their juice so much!

We absolutely love it here! Everything we've had has been wonderful.The only problem I have is trying to decide on which dish to get , I have my favorites but so many options sound amazing! The lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious but I can't get the coconut chia pudding off of my mind. The staff is very efficient and friendly especially for the level of business they have.

Was great experience, people were extremely friendly. I had to change my order twice and there was no complaint and no bad reaction. Very professional people and highly recommended to have like breakfast or brunch over there. And they close at 14:30

Great breakfast place. We got in and out in 40 minutes! The double layer taco was very delicious and tasty. The BLTE is also flavorful. The pancakes are delicious if you get the granola or chocolate chip.... you can't go wrong with any of the pancakes they are huge and delicious. Their chia seed pudding is also delicious and thick. Most menu items are quite good. You can get on their website and get on their wait list before you get there to save time waiting at the restaurant.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service what more could you want.
