“ I was genuinely impressed with this place. The service was great; they met our every request, were timely, and accommodating to our baby. The food was wonderful. I loved the Pork Pancakes. They were almost too generous with the meat! I tried my dad’s chorizo sandwich and that was also tasty. Good vibes and food. ”
“ Excellent Avocado Toast, very good latte (beans aren’t too dark roasted), clean place and very nice ambiance! Definitely recommend. ”

“ Awesome! Lots of healthy options. Delicious! Best avocado toast and salmon toast we've ever had. Super clean and nice bathrooms. ”
“ It's one of my favorite restaurants in any area. Quality with a capital "Q" Order anything on the menu, and you will not be disappointed. The wines are hand-picked by Jimmy Nichols, who is one of the best chefs and hands-on hosts that you will find. U just keep going back..not only because of the excellent food and service, but because it's just a place where people like to go. When our family visits from several different states, it's the first place they want to go. They usually order their fish of the day. My mouth is watering. ”
“ Stopped by here after a flight into LAX and loved the open sunny vibes of the restaurant. Really beautiful interior and great staff. Food wasn’t super cheap but plating was vibrant and food was clean and very enjoyable! Would certainly go back again if I’m in the area. Do check it out for breakfast / brunch with friends. ”
