Reviews

• 4★ Delicious eggs benedict and the French toast was amazing. The potatoes are tasty and the restaurant has a super cure and farm vibe. Get there early because it gets full. Also pet friendly with outdoor seating. — Jesus Mercado
• 3★ We came in early and our server was really nice and accommodating, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The tortillas in the chilaquiles were cold, and only the egg on top was warm. The flavor overall was lacking, and I ended up not finishing my meal. I was really looking — Monica Salazar
• 2★ There didn’t seem to be order and system in place for handling for the waiters and waitresses. We were seated outdoors, a family of 6 was then seated next to us. Another 2 guests were later seated after that. But we were not attended to in that order. In fact we were last. From the time we say down — Jay Wu
