My wife and I stopped in for lunch and had the BLT with side salad and the turkey club with fries. The food was fresh and good, and the outdoor dining was very nice... The restaurant wasn't busy, and the service was pretty good. The sandwich prices are about 20%-25% above where one would expect them to be, so that hurts the overall rating (Club = $23, etc.).

Tremendous service, delicious food, AND they have my father in law a cookbook when they find out he was getting married! Definitely plan to come back the next time I'm in town

Absolutely delicious food. We ate lunch here and we all ordered completely different things from a cheeseburger to a chicken apple salad and then crêpes. Every single item that we had was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was very helpful as well. The place is very busy and we did seem to wait quite a while for our food but when it arrived, none of that mattered because it was so good. I only wish I had taken pictures of everything because it was delicious

Benny (Server) was excellent. Food was slower to come out, but worth it, and excellent. Slow food > fast food. Very comfortable atmosphere. Fun music. Good vibes. Highly recommended for anybody and anything, including business meetings / family events. Toast to a good dinner!

Great service, friendly people, delicious food! Everything we ordered was amazing. I ordered the Thai salad had steak in it, which was amazing cooked to perfection. My husband ordered a breakfast pizza which I was a little bit unsure of, but it turned out to be the best thing ever. The flavors just mixed together so well. My daughter got pesto pasta in crepe. Which again doesn’t sound great, but it was really good. The flavors were there. I was sad to see not more people enjoying this place. We come from Santa Rosa so this was a little gem that we Ran into.

Standard menu for a brunch place . Offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Spacious , and didn’t have any wait time. The staff was very attentive & followed up refills and orders etc. We went with kids , the kids menu portion size is decent and kids were able to eat properly. The pancakes and French toast were the highlight of the place. Definitely go easy on the syrups

I really liked this place, their food was really good, portions were generous. Our server was really nice and friendly, we arrived really early on Sunday so we didn't have to wait to be seated. Their chicken pesto crepe was really good and my friend loved their Benedict eggs. My boyfriend liked the country fried steak but the gravy was a little bit on the runny side. I loved their tea (which was from the Peet's coffee next door so I bought some there) and they are aware when coffee was running low so they will offer more.

I came for the Happy Hour and dined inside because of the cool windy weather. My server was very attentive, place not busy at all. My food came out quickly, nice and hot. My favorite was the sweet potato fries. I've been back a couple times since the initial visit and added some more pictures of my selections.
