We were a party of six on a Saturday night and were seated right away. The portions are huge! I had the eggplant dish with beef and it was the best one I've had by far.

Been curious to try this Cafe for several years and decided this was the morning to do just that…read moreand have a breakfast. They open at 7:00 on a Saturday and customer number two was not there until 8:00 so already it's my kind of place LOL. The patio outside is nice and you get a nice look at the marina. So I ordered the Ventura omelette which comes with bacon mushrooms olives sour cream and avocados. To my delight also includes a generous portion of hash browns. All this costs $23 no drink tax and tip included. Now for the downlow: As much as I wanted to give a higher rating to these typa small businesses, can't for a couple of reasons. First of all the hash browns although texture-wise was cooked perfectly, it had a very heavy frying /cooking oil taste like it hadn't been changed for awhile. I never like to nit-pick but it was overwhelming. Second, the omelette had a very funny taste to it almost as if the pan was used for something else and then this was cooked on/after it so I couldn't quite identify what it was but it just didn't taste right. It had some bacon in it but it was fatty and undercooked too. so although the presentation and portion was nice and the price was right, didn't really inspire me to come back unfortunately. It wasn't terrible by any means but enough to not want to try something else. Almost forgot the biscuit which is optional instead of toast was pretty good. 3 stars and really 2.5 rounding up for good service.

The ambience is clean and quaint with assorted pictures of local favorite Johnny Cash on the walls. I honestly question the 2 disatisfied reviews regarding customer service or the food being bland but, as you'll see from the overwhelming majority of reviews, this simply isn't the case :) Prices are beyond reasonable (especially for this area). My personal favorite are the Lemon Ricotta pancakes - so delicious!

Today was different...and on the way home I stopped. Now it was later in the morning but I had breakfast on my mind. Once inside I saw the counter and there I sat. Coffee arrived a moment later and I was reading the menu. Simple and to the point, the carne asada omelet that sounds good, no potatoes fresh fruit please. It wasn't long and my breakfast arrived. Nothing fancy here Omelet and a bowl of fruit. The Omelet looked small at first but once I realized the amount of carne asada and I was sold. This bad boy was full of it asada that is and the best mix of different fruit I've seen in a long time My choice of bread was a biscuit with a dab of gravy. Gravy tasted like dry mix with a little help from the cook, good but not to memorable on parker house roll size and was "with" so..no complaint. I gobbled the breakfast and swore I'd stop in on my run to pick up the kids. We'll see. Needless to say this is a no nonsense cafe. This is a no fluff diner, the interior is quite stark, blank but I wasn't here for frills or the romance. The delicious carne asada Omelet made my stop worthwhile and certainly worthy of four star Later Foodguy-Martin

He was admonishing them in front of patrons. They are somewhat deceitful in their menu: as an example, had I known the maple syrup would be cheap flavored syrup with HFCS, I'd never have used it. I instantly had a migraine, plus it's just gross. If you can't afford real maple syrup, just say so, and give customers the choice not to use it. Also the coffee was ATROCIOUS. It somehow was weak and burned concurrently and I'm pretty sure it was $3.50! Other than that, it was okay. I was just uncomfortable with the staff dynamics and then getting a headache before needing to drive back to LA.

PSA: hard pass! Keep moving and eat elsewhere…read more I wanted to like this place. I love to eat, grew up eating this kind of food, and have worked in food service so I am so sorely disappointed that this neighborhood spot isn't better or even serviceable. And it hurts me to write a bad review. This place has a lot of potential. Charming area, easy parking, and right by Singing Sun coffee where the lines stretch way out the door. The decor attempts to be modern and tidy. But I want to warn others: the service is so slow and so out of touch and the food is bland. Constantly apologizing for the wait especially when there was only one other customer doesn't help. Show some visible effort to speed up or communicate early about the delay. Nope! Entire order took about 45 mins to show up at the table. The only other customer also waited forever for their dumpling appetizer. I ordered a bunch of items: a banh mi, an appetizer, noodle dish, rice dish...all lazy examples of the Viet food could be. All flavorless, not fresh, and small portions except for the chicken cabbage appetizer. Even the rice was hard and dry. All in all, I think my bad experience speaks volumes about the values of management and the eventual poor business outlook of this restaurant unless things turn out. Please turn it around! Until then, I'm not coming back. Save yourselves!

The food was good overall, but fairly standard and not particularly memorable…read more What disappointed us most was the service. We chose to sit outside and I specifically went inside to ask a server if that was okay. She brought us menus, but after that it seemed like we were forgotten. I looked inside several times and made eye contact with staff, but no one came to take our order. Eventually, another employee came over and took our order. A little later, the original server came outside and asked if anyone had taken our order yet. We told her that another staff member already had. It was a confusing situation, especially since there were several servers working at the time. The prices also felt a bit high for what was served. The omelets, in particular, seemed overpriced compared to similar breakfast spots. There were also a few issues with the food. My toast arrived with a normal piece of toasted bread on top, but underneath was a burnt slice, which felt odd and careless. The croissant was very good, the eggs were fine, but the hash browns were undercooked and still somewhat raw in the middle. Overall, the experience was okay, but between the service issues, inconsistent food quality, and higher-than-average prices, it didn't quite meet our expectations.

YOU ALL!!!! Wanna know how much I love this restaurant??? Well, to start, I have been coming here…read morefor YEARS and have NEVER reviewed it! That's my subconscious, selfish way, from Yelp peeps. LOL! NOW, I finally get to writing a review and realize I HAVE NEVER taken a photo of their FOOOOOOD!!! (Insert face palm so hard it leaves a mark until Ash Wednesday) This visit was a special one to celebrate my friend. Ok, full disclosure: I already knew what she would want, but I also knew I wanted more, and different, meats/preparation. So, yeah, we had dinner and I asked for the menu again, then ordered another feast to go, which I ate for THREE DATS! (Admitednly, could have been 4 days and, actually their portions are PLENTY for 4 people to share, but I didn't. I over ate the 1st day, then paced myself the next 2! where's that palm hit again? POINT BEING!: These are delicious, hearty, fresh, wonderfully flavored dishes at a fair price, made and served by friendly, proud staff. Wow! Where to start - ok, samosas it is! Lovely little delicacies, and some nice options. I have eaten the chicken, the lamb and, of course, the staple Alu(aka Aloo) samosas. All beautifully packed with plenty of filling and light, crispy exterior. What next.... Curries! OHHHHH....oooooo...their curries are SO GOOD! I really love a mutton, but my friend favors poultry and seafood, so this day in May, we ordered the Shrimp Coconut Curry. FABULOUS!!!! AND PLENTIFUL!!!! I have also had Mutton Curry, Lamb Vindaloo, boneless Chicken Korma and the Goat in Coconut Curry - my personal fave. Since I'm talking curry, I'll remind you you'll want some bread with those curries. My favorite naan here are Onion Kulcha, Keema(lamb), and the awesome Peshwari (stuffed raisins, almonds, cashews, cherries and coconut). HowEV-ER - the GARLIC CHEESE NAAN is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!! I'm drooling just thinking about it.... Moving on toooo...TANDORI! if you like lamb, the rack her is TOO DELICIOUS to pass up! With a group? Get the mixed tandoori and everyone can taste a little something. Actually, it's a great appetizer for a group and a great way to introduce friends to Indian herbs and cooking methods. Honorable mentions go to: Saag Paneer(it's always near and dear, that Saag Paneer!), Paneer Masala, Daal Tudka, Papadum(add Mango Chutney, of course!), Rice Pellow(a saffron rice) and Mango Lassi to tame some of the spice. I order all my spice dishes "white girl spicy" so the mango lassi was really just a yummy yogurt treat. The restaurant is large, beautifully decorated with traditional and modern Indian music videos playing on hanging TVs and well cared for. The staff is always friendly, inviting, courteous and helpful. They keep their eyes moving to watch and see who needs anything, but also allow privacy and a no need to rush your meal feeling. The food presentation is lovely and I always feel like they are proud and enthusiastic to help guide me through dishes I'm not so familiar with. This area of the harbor is pretty quiet, serves a lot of people who live close by and walk, so the parking lot is large, mostly empty and free. Go. Enjoy. See why "we" won't want others to know about our fab little secret. Cheers! "CC"
