Lovisa WilliamsMarch 13, 2012Cool retro modern dinner. Great prices and based on other reviews I expect the food to be good.

Jay PechekAugust 20, 2011Get the spicy Bloody Mary made with the pepper infused vodka. Perfect for getting rid of the shakes.
FredJuly 7, 2013Way too noisy, came here during the dinner rush and couldn't hear a damn thing. I would definitely come back again, food was amazing, but they need to wash the lettuce better for the salads.
AliceSeptember 27, 2012I wish I could time travel and eat their French toast again for the very first time. Please try it.
Amanda WalsworthOctober 31, 2014Wild boar chilli when they put it back up! It has to get colder outside first.
Stephanie SteinSeptember 19, 2011Get the remedy burger or the crab cake eggs benedict! Also, really nice friendly service!
Get steak migas and you can't go wrong. Add a Stella and then you're really talkin. This place is perfect

Lisa BoiceNovember 17, 2015Chef undercooked my steak, server agreed but he didn't offer to fix it. He said, "eh, sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't."

"Patio and inside are equally quaint. You can't go wrong with the Jasmine mint tea and honey vanilla smoke in your hookah, they pair lovely. There is nothing fast paced here, including the service."
Andrea Trevino - 7.4
"Kinda like fast casual or maybe a cafe? High quality food. Holds up well for delivery."
AmateurConcierge - 8.5
"Love the migas tacos with queso, and if you buy them a la carte, you'll save a few bucks (who needs rice and beans for breakfast?)"
