Their patio is like a little hidden gem but we elected to sit inside. The booths inside are huge. We ordered appetizers to share as it was late on a Sunday. We had the pork tacos, shrimp dumplings and the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. We did order the potatoe skins but they ran out of that item. The shrimp dumplings are yummy. The pork tacos was good but missing a flavour (recommended a slaw to help). The best dish is the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. Crunchy, peanuty and limey. All the flavours to make the salad fresh and tasty. Overall, a good eatery to try out. Just note parking is quite limited and the dishes are pricey.

It…read morewas already a full house when we arrived and there was a queue of guests waiting to be seated. The atmosphere was very lively while a Mariachi band was playing. We started our fiesta with their curated cocktails made with luxury tequila--Don Julio 1942. We had Roses Paloma and Flower Child which were both refreshing and had the right kick in lieu of the festivities. For the food, we went straight for the mains and then shared a dessert which was good for two people. *MAINS* LOBSTER and SHRIMP ROLL It was such a flavour heaven but not overpowering thanks to the Chipotle aioli. There was a generous amount of lobster in the sandwich and the bread that was used was delicious in its own right. PANCAKES SUPREME The pancakes were light, fluffy, and perfectly tangy, with the ricotta adding a creamy richness that balanced beautifully with the citrus. The berry compote added a burst of sweetness and tartness that complemented each bite, while the Chantilly cream melted delicately into the stack. A sprinkle of granola on top brought the perfect crunch, making each mouthful a delightful mix of textures and flavors. STEAK and EGGS The perfectly cooked golden yolks added a creamy contrast to the savoury steak done the best way possible: Medium rare. Together, the combination is simple yet deeply satisfying. *DESSERT* CAST IRON COOKIE It's a fusion of warm chocolate chip brownie and salted caramel, perfectly balanced by a scoop of creamy vegan vanilla ice cream. Each bite delivers a rich variation of textures and flavors that's both indulgent and comforting.

The bartender couldn't be assed to help/serve us, he was busy flirting with someone at the end of the bar. Oh well.

The cocktails were tasty for the most part and the drinks and food came out quickly.

We arrived at 6:30pm on Friday night. It was not too busy. More like families around, some tables were couples. We ordered this special. The shared App was Four Cheese Spinach dips, we chose the baked chips. Pretty good portion. The mains we got Alfredo Pasta with choice of Shrimp. Reasonable portion, cheesy and tasty, but original price was $19.99. Another main was Mediterranean Salmon (extra $4 for this dish), it was rice at the bottom and cooked Salmon. I like cooked fish, not fishy. Let's do it. We love that. The shared dessert was a piece of white chocolate cheesecake with choice of dark Chocolate or caramel on the top. It was too sweet for us. It was not too busy, but my water not got refilled, and the waitress was hard to find her when we needed. Based on the price and the food, here was still a good place to come.

They were loaded and delicious, cooked and topped to perfection. Good lunch!

The reviews suggested that we come here early (as it gets very crowded once the lunch hour starts), so we came by before 12 noon. A friendly young lady welcomed us and took us to our seat (which was around the middle area of the cafe). Our waitress welcomed us and asked if we have been here before- then let us know that there is a seating time limit. Knowing this, we decided to order first, then catch up. My friend ordered Fish-O-Filet and I picked Holmpei Pancake with smoked salmon. After a few minutes, our orders arrived and we could not wait to eat! My friend said that the fish was juicy yet crispy, the veggies were fresh and the portion size was great. I enjoyed my pancake as well, the pancake was soft yet fluffy and all the ingredients were fresh. We were too full, so we did not have any room to try their drinks. Friendly service and yummy food, highly recommended!

As the buildings on this strip are older restrooms are typically downstairs , in this cast a fairly steep set so not accessible. Most menu items are in the low 20 price range. Brunch is served until 4 pm. Good selection of coffee and non coffee based drinks. Did not see alcohol on the menu. What was ordered: Kimchi eggs - scrambled eggs served with a thick piece of milk toast and kimchi with a side salad Croque Madam - ham, carmelized onions and generous spread of Dijon mustard on a piece of crusty bread with a fried egg on top and side salad Bolognese pasta - bolognese sauce on tagliatelle pasta topped with a fried egg Fish sandwich - deep fried fish patty under a béchamel sauce. Served with a side salad and sweet potato fries. The croque madam was really acidic. The combination of the caramelized onions with the Dijon was overpowering and took away from the other flavours. The bolognese sauce was really nice and the added sunny side egg on top just added to the flavour. Feedback on the other two dishes were okay. Nothing outstanding. Popular place, when we left after 4 pm the place was still full.
