    Great location at Jack London square. Busy place. Dark & mysterious inside reminds me of New Orleans. Didn't have anything special but the yogurt was a nice presentation

    Crab Benedict and Bloody Mary's are excellent at this quirky little ex-brothel. Never too long of a wait, can get a little cramped inside but there's ample outdoor seating.

    It's technically a restaurant, but there's a bar for throwing one back, perhaps with a plate of their famous fried zucchini. Read more

    The crab cake eggs Benedict is probably the best thing I've ever eaten. Especially when paired with a Bloody Mary.

    Great bloody Mary's! Love the history of this place. Great atmosphere. Great service. Mixed with great company equals a great brunch.

    Try Jerry's Grand Marnier french toast. Pair it with a Pimosa, pomegranate mimosa, for an awesome good time. ;)

    Their breakfast selection is good and their omelettes are tasty. The staff is nice but for some reason when it's time to pay your bill they never seem to come around anymore.

    The atmosphere is really fun during Halloween and Christmas. They really go all out with the decorations. It actually takes them days to put them up!

    If your hungry, don't go but if you have time to wait 15min before you see your server, then another 35 min before you get your food, plus a another 29 to get your check bit...the food is awesome.

    Crab cake eggs benedict was delicious. Fried parmesan zucchini fries also very tasty. Service could use some refinement, however.

    Get the shrimp bisque if they have it on special, it is to die.

    Used to be a brothel in the late 1800s. Now you can grab a nice Sunday brunch there!
