    They special made me a club bacon cheeseburger with homemade fries was amazing.. I told him I didn't want a patty melt and I describe exactly what I wanted and they made it for me.

    Ham steak with hash browns and eggs scrambled with cheese

    I have friends in Alhambra who absolutely love this place, so they took me here for lunch -- and I'm glad they did, because it's not necessarily the kind of spot that would've stood out to me or that I would've chosen on my own. We had a large party (7 people) but it was easy to get a table and even bring another table over to accommodate us all. The atmosphere inside isn't really anything special, but the service is stellar and the food is good. My ham steak was one of the best I've had in LA -- perfectly cooked, and a nice ratio of meat to fat. My eggs scrambled with cheese were a solid option, though next time I'll probably request french fries instead of the hash browns. And next time I'll ask for my English muffin toasted well done, as it came out warm but not crispy at all. My friend ordered pancakes that looked amazingly fluffy, and another friend enjoyed her churro waffle, which looked spectacular. Diet Coke served in a can rather than fountain -- but that's OK, as it guarantees freshness and fizziness. Cash only. Ample parking. Family run. Give it a try!

    Farmhouse decor.

    LOCATION - Plenty of parking with no time limit. You'll see their large Apple Jacks signage in a bright yellow. You can't miss it. From the outside, the windows are very tinted and it almost looks closed but as soon as you enter, it's a completely different story. The walls are bright "egg yolk" yellow, filled with cute farm house decor. FOOD - I ordered the BREAKFAST BURRITO, which was a nice size! It had hash browns, eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese. I also got their salsa on the side. I do wish the hash browns were a bit more crispy but overall, I give it a 7.4/10. I also got their CHURRO WAFFLE COMBO and the combo plate was comforting and delicious. The Churro Waffle itself was so good! It had a robust flavor, full of cinnamon and cajeta. Sweet but really good! I give that dish a 9/10. SERVICE - Our waitress was super nice, happily helping us the entire time. Everyone who works there moves fast but it doesn't take away from feeling welcomed. I believe it's a mother, daughter duo based on other reviews, so that's a beautiful touch to this Latinx-owned business!

    What's up!!! Haven't been to this spot in years! Very glad I came back and had a great experience. I was immediately greeted and seated. Service was amazing and the servers kept the coffee coming! The sirloin steak was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

    Probably one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in a very very very long time. The service is very fast, they are constantly attending to our needs or wants, the food is amazing with great big portions. The staff was cheerful and very personalizable. If you are looking for a mom and pop location with amazing food this is it. Don't mind the picture just me enjoying my coffee at this great location. I am not from this area just a passing by and I don't know anyone at this location. I will be coming back.

    In an area full of pho and dumplings what find on a rainy Saturday. Lots of locals and regulars. Super friendly staff and patrons. Price point spot on, portions large, but not enormous, food tasty, coffee good, decor fresh and clean, a no nonsense straight forward coffee shop. Cash only. Chicken fried steak with crispy hash browns. Yummy Steak and eggs and pork chops and eggs just as good. Can't wait to return.

I ordered the Mac n' chowder, and it was a perfect mixture of clam chowder and Mac n cheese in a bread bowl. It was definitely a unique dish! The rest of my party ordered the traditional pan roast with assorted seafood, and after tasting it, I wished I had more room in my stomach! While I don't eat oysters, everyone else did and I heard nothing but good things. They even ordered another dozen (for a total of 3 dozen)! Service was fantastic. We were also able to call and get our names down for a reservation, which I'm glad we did since it started getting very crowded with a long wait during dinner time. There's plenty of parking in the lot and below ground parking structure. I would 100% come back here again and recommend it to others!

    As fate would have it, I ate here with my parents instead of the originally intended dinner…read moredestination, Baek Jeong. Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

However, I went for a second time yesterday and was deeply disappointed. The owner wasn't there and instead a younger girl took my order and prepared the food. Everything seemed well and fine until I got home, opened my patty melt and found not 1 but 2 long hairs in my sandwich! They were clearly her hairs since she was the only one who handled my food. I went back and returned everything. I didn't see a hair in my other sandwich but couldn't even eat it without thinking what could be in each bite. The same girl was there when I returned and a young guy. I spoke with the guy and he gave me a refund right away and apologized. The girl who had made my food was maybe 5 feet away and couldn't even turn around to look at me or apologize. Very disappointing since the owner seemed like a nice guy who probably works extremely hard to build and maintain his business, only to have it ruined by some employee who couldn't even care enough to take 5 sec to put on a hair net. Shame on her.

    I have been wanting to come here since moving to the area 4 years ago for college, and graduating…read moreseemed like the perfect occasion, as my aunts wanted to treat me to a celebratory meal on June 10th. Delightfully understated atmosphere with unique tiles throughout the decor, and we loved that we could hear each other talk and enjoy each other's company. Our server was amazing, she was so knowledgeable while being personable and extremely funny. I assume she's the cook's wife based on the other reviews - I arrived a little after my aunts, so I didn't get a full introduction since they had already secured a table and had ordered some drinks while looking over the menu. I had my eye on 3 different meat dishes - the Roasted Duck Breast, the New Zealand Lamb, and the Angus Beef Ribeye Steak - and my aunts also had each picked 1 of those, so we went family style, and it did not disappoint!! The chef knows how to cook each type of meat to perfection, and the searing pans are doing exactly what they need to be doing! The Roast Duck Breast was AMAZING as cooked to the recommended medium, with delicious crispy skin. The Angus Beef Ribeye Steak at medium rare was as tasty as it was gorgeous! And the New Zealand Lamb was PERFECTION, down to the bone. We also got the gourmet macaroni and cheese as an add-on side, since all the meals come with mashed potatoes and various veggies, and I was in heaven! As someone who used to work at the Disney Parks and frequented the steakhouses and other fine dining both here and in Orlando, Sage Bistro is giving Disney a run for its money when it comes to high-quality meat dishes! The prices reflect both the cut of the meats and the skill of preparation, with it averaging to about $50 each across the 3 of us, which is pretty reasonable for top-tier quality! The only thing I had to be careful about was that many of the dishes have mushrooms, and my throat gets itchy if I eat most mushrooms, so I had to avoid those dishes. During our meal, when I mentioned it to our server for future visits, she was great at noting which dishes could completely be modified to have no mushrooms while also being realistic about acknowledging the dishes that cannot be, which sadly includes the Braised Short Rib that sounds out of this world. But I can have the Beef Rib Soup, so I definitely want to try that next because I WILL BE BACK!!! They also offer takeaway, and were very generous in giving us each a coupon card to use for ordering through their website.

Seeing the server and an Asian staff coming out from kitchen confirmed that the cooking wasn't fully American taste bud. But that is the reason why it hit me very well. Honestly, whether you have American or fusion or Asian taste bud, the taste quality is better than some average American restaurants. I tried the butter squash soup, lamp chop, and bow tie pasta with chicken. I was enjoying my soup and lamp chop a lot. The pasta was pleasant to me, but it wasn't exceptionally great compared to the lamp chop. My fiancé loved the pasta though, saying that the sauce wasn't overwhelming. It is not a cheap place to come for, but it is because the food and drinks (good white wine) have quality. The wait for the entrees was a little long, even though it wasn't that busy. I believe it was the chef spending time to make sure each dish was done well, unlike the busy restaurant where chefs only follow the restaurant's recipes to make it quick and easy. Lastly, the ambience was okay, but it was more an older fine dining/family owned style. It had some nostalgic vibe if you'd take it that way. Keep it up. I really hope it will be there forever long.

On the first floor that is a large bar, plus there is a roof top patio and seating on three different floors. Note, happy hour is only served at the first flow bar unfortunately.

Prior to 6pm, some parking in front is limited to one hour so read the signs carefully. Also, the parking in front is metered so pay the pay the meter. I believe there is parking in the rear that offers a limited free parking time. Cheers!
