I wasn't happy about it but I decided to let it slide and hoped the food would make up for it. I was extremely disappointed with the food. My eggs Benny's egg whites were still runny, English muffin absolutely soggy and disgusting, with a thin slice of deli ham. The potatoes (that I wasn't informed or asked if I wanted onions or peppers by the way) were so grease soaked and cold that they were actually inedible. My partner's chicken fried steak was way overcooked, hard and tough. Just all around terrible. TLDR; given the completely wrong drink, food was impossible to get down, and no concern of my uneaten food by the server or owner. Not worth it at all.

It was absolutely delicious. Thick slices of sourdough topped with a smashed avocado, two eggs over-easy, very tasty cherry tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. The room has some really cool farm-type decorations, a hardwood floor, but the tables are far enough apart that you can talk to your guests and not have trouble hearing each other. The last question below was if a staff member requested me to leave a review - she did; however, I always like to share my experiences in case someone else has any questions. I am a repeat customer now.

Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.

The onion rings were absolutely brilliant, and the Organic IPA was also fantastic. What really stood out was how well Amy understood the drinks menu -- she listened to the kinds of flavors we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and recommended drinks that matched exactly what we wanted. She also had a great sense of humor that made us feel completely at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredible -- even the people around us were interactive and engaged in conversation despite us not knowing each other. The whole night was filled with great energy, shared laughs, and an overall memorable experience.

It's so cozy and happy, like having dinner in a Christmas wonderland. Tonight it was packed; my husband and I didn't make reservations and still they squeezed us in. I got to enjoy what I long for all year. The food was, as always a 10 out of 10. Shout out to the amazing chef who made the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. Another shout out to Alexis, who brought us a mini loaf of the most delicious brioche bread that comes with the dinner; because what we ordered didn't include the bread we asked if we could have it and she made it happen. The place is not the cheapest, but very reasonable given the high quality of food and service, the wait is a bit on the long-ish side (the food makes up for it) and I still can't think of a better place to have an excellent dinner with an even more excellent ambiance. 100 out of 100.

This little eatery was busy, an old school feel inside there's not a lot of tables here, and seating is both inside and out. Friendly staff, was kind and helpful. Our server who is also the owner, dropped off a couple menus on her pass through and returned with two cups of coffee on her way back. After looking over the menu, I opted for the Ambers Breakfast Tots. Tater tots loaded, with cheese, gravy, an over medium egg plus one added and bacon crumbled all over.
