Mary, the manager, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, making us feel welcomed from start to finish. Dakota was fantastic as well and added to an already outstanding experience. We also had the pleasure of meeting owner John, whose warmth and hospitality were evident. He has truly created something special here. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed, breezy, and effortlessly trendy without trying too hard. The brunch menu is thoughtfully curated, reasonably priced, and refreshing in a time when brunch can easily become overpriced. Not a single item was over $20. And let's talk about the pancakes. We ordered them both days because they were that good. Light, fluffy, perfectly cooked, and finished with those irresistible crisp golden edges that pancake lovers dream about. Easily some of the best pancakes we've had in a very long time. Bosscat delivers on food, service, value, and atmosphere. It's rare to find a place that gets all four right, but they absolutely nailed it. We can't wait to come back!!

The brunch was excellent and I highly recommend the chilaquiles (add the pulled pork!) and the cinnamon bun. The service and ambiance were top notch. It feels like you're in a European cafe or in someone's home, it's just that relaxed and cozy. We were able to enjoy a very leisurely meal and were attentively taken care of the entire time. A real welcome change of pace from the fast-turn mantra of other concepts.

They closed Feb 15…read more We came here Feb 13. They had a paper on a podium written about their closure. And I truly believe that they are not really made out to be a full-service restaurant as much as I like their dedication and drive. I had a reservation at 7 pm. I checked in at 6:45 pm. At 7:25 pm, they brought us in and did not have a table ready for us. They made a table then after a table left 15 minutes later, they rearranged us. I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and the ambiance was open, upscale, welcoming, and perfect for both special occasions and group gatherings. Food-wise, everything we tried was fantastic. My favorite dish was the Braised Short Rib Pappardelle, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Parker House Rolls were also a standout, and all of the appetizers we ordered were great as well. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of most of the appetizers because we dug right in, but I did manage to get a picture of dessert. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded expectations. I'd definitely come back and would recommend Solstice for a date night, celebration, or any special occasion.

From the moment she took over our event planning, everything became seamless. She was responsive, professional, solution-oriented, and genuinely cared about making our event special. Without us even asking, she created a custom latte menu with "Happy Birthday" at the top, which was such a thoughtful personal touch. When the latte machine had an issue, she somehow made it happen and kept everything running smoothly. Nothing was ever a problem. She always found a solution. A huge thank you as well to Octavio, who provided excellent service throughout the event. Because of Madison and the team, our celebration was a huge success. We will absolutely be recommending Benny and Mary's to our friends, family, and community. If you're planning a private event, ask for Madison. She is exceptional.

The cocktail selection is excellent, and the wine list offers plenty of great choices. The salads were exceptionally fresh, and the sea bass was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. There is plenty of parking available in the lot, which is always a plus. Since the restaurant is located in an office complex, it tends to get busy on weeknights after work. A weekend visit may provide a more relaxed experience. Overall, it is definitely worth checking out for the food, drinks, service, and unique ambiance.

Would love to try their coffee drinks next time!

I stopped by because I was already in the area and wanted to check out a newer spot. They're approaching their one-year anniversary, so they're still fairly new. When I visited, there was a decent line, and the café was quite busy. There isn't dedicated parking, so you'll likely need to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood and walk over. There is plenty of outdoor seating available, along with a smaller indoor seating area. I ordered the Guava Range from the seasonal menu, which is described as a guava matcha latte topped with mascarpone cream, guava purée, and ceremonial-grade matcha. I was especially excited to try it because guava matcha isn't something you come across often. Unfortunately, my drink didn't quite match the description. If there was guava purée included, I couldn't see or taste it. The only guava element I noticed was a light dusting on top of the cream. The mascarpone cream also overpowered the matcha, making it difficult to taste. Overall, the drink came across more like very lightly flavored milk than a guava matcha latte. For a drink that cost around $9-10, I was hoping for more balance and a stronger presence of the advertised flavors. That said, they're still a relatively new business, and growing pains are understandable. I didn't have time to stay and try any food, but everything coming out of the kitchen smelled great. Since it was busy, I also don't feel I can fairly comment on the service based on this visit alone. I'd be willing to come back and give them another try in the future, as I can see the potential and hope some of the smaller details get refined over time.

The food was excellent, but our server Gabriel really made the night. He was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations while answering all of our questions. We started with the prime beef tartare, shrimp ceviche and roasted cauliflower. All three were delicious. For entrees, we ordered the grilled octopus al pastor, short rib ravioli, branzino, and the 24 oz ribeye. Every dish was flavorful and well executed. The ribeye with mashed potatoes and mushrooms was cooked perfectly, but the standout for me was the short rib ravioli. I had heard of it before but never tried it until this visit. The pasta to filling ratio was spot on and every bite was excellent. For dessert, we ordered the espresso crème brûlée, which was rich, creamy, and well balanced. Gabriel also surprised us with a baklava cheesecake on the house, and our group could not stop talking about it. Combining baklava and cheesecake was a game changer. Definitely a place I would come back to.

The shrimp saganaki was my favorite, and my boyfriend loved the short rib ravioli. You can tell everything is made with love it has that true mom and pop restaurant feel that's so hard to find. The chef came out at the end and we had such a great conversation. We'll definitely be back!

The grilled artichoke is an appetizer is a must try. Heirloom artichokes from California. For dessert, I had their walnut, apple, crisp and a wonderful fresh cup of coffee.

The menu was amazing and had all kinds of options available. I ordered the Korean Demilitarization Zone Pork Tacos. 3 decently sized tacos, extremely filling and paired great with my beer. Everything was cooked and seasoned so well. The chips were a nice side to go along with them. I loved it all.

However it was extremely crowded and needed seats to open up (All tables are first come first serve, but you can call in and make a reservation for 20+ people). The beers and drinks are really good! They also have a full bar so you can order cocktails and shots as well. I will take off a star because the food is decent, ordered the smash burger and carne asada fries. Burger was good but nothing to write home about, came with fries. I do like that they have a wide menu for food, the carne asada fries didn't hit, I do recommend the burgers, but I would definitely come back to try another dish. Overall great place to hang out and grab a drink!
