    I worked here for a while so I had the advantage of being able to try everything on the menu and I have to say, there wasn't a single thing that wasn't delicious. Seriously though everything is good.

    Bene on Fire was fantastic. Chicken and waffles was good, but complaints on the breast meat and breading. We got a little side of lemon curd just to try and it was delicious! Lemonade mimosa great.

    The scone and lemon curd with the egg dishes, which are winner because each table has fresh salsa verde!

    The scone is amazing, as is the rest of the food. Also, really, really sweet people working here! Fantastic service. One of my fav breakfasts.

    Whether a scone with the best lemon curd, or a cornmeal waffle with fruit, great for breakfast/brunch

    It's so so good… I exchanged buckwheat instead of buttermilk and had the banana coconut pancakes with two over easy eggs… Oh my God!

    They smoke their own salmon and make their own bacon! Chicken and waffles!

    The Solano was sinful but fantastic. Enormous chunks of smoked bacon. The rye toast is thick and chewy. Coffee a little bland though

    Scone was huge! Food delicious. Whistling was kind of irritating but service was good.

    Eat outside here. The guy whistling in the kitchen makes inside acousticly intolerable.
