The place itself is quite small with limited parking, but everyone is nice and kind and they have little buzzers to notify you when your table is ready :) I got the French toast with strawberries and oh my goodness it was DELICIOUS. The French toast was a perfect blend of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread itself was amazing. I opted in for some fresh strawberries, but you can get other fruit or a fruit syrup as well. The French toast also comes with warm maple syrup, and I can attest it was definitely warm. It made the whole eating experience feel luxurious, and I had a delightful time eating it all up. If I ever come back to Lake Tahoe for holiday, I will definitely need to swing by this place to experience this French toast again. So good!

Dairy allergy beware! For poisoning…read more Pros: Great seating Easy parking Friendly Decent kids-food options Plenty of open seats during the off-season Cons: Not allergy friendly. Ugh. Moderate portion size for price Unclear menu ------------- Worst food poisoning this decade. I told the waitress I had a dairy allergy, but she did not write it down. I asked about dairy in the dish I ordered; I'm pretty sure the kitchen switched out the chicken sausage from the menu for chicken&cheese sausage -- an avoidable error IF the kitchen is informed. Extremely disappointed.

Since I wasn't looking for a pastry or breakfast I can only comment on the excellent coffee. Cappuccino was perfectly made and the Americano was rich and bold like I like. Whatever beans they use are excellent in their espresso blend. The service was excellent, and everybody had a smile on their face. The only thing that was odd to me was plastic stir sticks. Why would i want to put plastic into my hot drink? Made no sense when you can use cheap wood recycled stir sticks.

Cereal bar, porridge station, dumplings, pastries. There were 4 hot items: fried rice, bacon, potatoes, waffles/pancakes. There's also an omelette station. Overall pretty decent, food tasted pretty average, but good selection. Service was net neutral for us. One day we had a great server who was very attentive, and the next day we had someone who didn't seem like they wanted to be there. Came by to get us drinks once and the next time was to ask if we were ready for the bill. The restaurant itself has great views situated at the corner of a building. Try to get seated next to the window.

Solid selection of breakfast foods, but limited on fruit and we pulled a peach that had mold on it ....

She did mention she might be a bit biased since she works in the kitchen, but she was completely right: the food was outstanding. We ordered two burgers, a salad, and an appetizer to share among four people. The portions were very generous and incredibly satisfying. We usually prefer to restaurant-hop and have dessert somewhere else, but the meal was so good that we decided to stay and try dessert as well. While it wasn't quite as impressive as the rest of the food, it was still enjoyable and ended up being the perfect choice since it wasn't overly heavy after such a filling meal. A special mention goes to our waitress, Erin, who was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, and incredibly on top of everything. I always appreciate when a server checks in at the right moment to ask whether you'd like the bill or want to order anything else, and Erin handled everything seamlessly. She got us in and out quickly without ever making us feel rushed.

The menu was an array of apps like Bao buns, guac and chips to birria beef rangoon, entree salads and burgers including a mushroom burger. They were a bit understaffed - one bartender and one server. Neither super friendly or forward with info - we had no clue on the flow or what and where to go. We figured it out, but clearly a bit of an issue. We ordered at the bar, but from a server, and then sat outside. The poke bowl, while a tad bland was hearty, filling and solid. The deep fried onions on top were a really nice touch, although I did feel like it was over the top salty - I ended up drinking like a gallon of water when I got home. The Bloody Mary was really good... so props on that drink, with a blue cheese olive and all. Overall, such a solid spot. Well designed, hip and a solid menu. I'd come again if I was in the 'hood. * bonus for some limited parking in the back lot.

These were surprisingly a solid 8/10. It was well seasoned and the texture was crispy. I didn't love the dipping sauce too much, it had a pepper like taste which I didn't care for. I thought the wings stood out on its own and didn't need a sauce! Cesar salad with chicken: this was an easy 10/10. The salad was fresh, and I knew the salad was going to be delicious because they served it with anchovies. Delicious! The chicken reminded me of rotisserie style. Good stuff. Duck Breast: 8/10, I'm usually skeptical on trying duck since I'm a Peking duck lover at dim sum style restaurants, but this was pretty good. It was cooked perfectly, had a decent amount of meat to it. Came with a side of mash potatoes. Dessert: we ordered the pear pie with vanilla ice cream. This was gooood. An easy 10/10. The crust on this pie was made to perfection and had the best texture. The flavor, full pear slices, with a bite of vanilla ice cream, I meannnn, I was definitely thinking about it the next day. Highly recommend! Our server was also extremely kind and attentive which made our experience even better. Overall great restaurant especially if you're staying at the Village in the Palisades!
