The hostess and Mrs. Danielle the Assistant GM, made an outstanding first impression. When my group…read morearrived, we asked if there was a table with a nice view and a breeze. Instead of simply assigning us a table, she went above and beyond by letting us choose the one we liked. Her attitude was warm, welcoming, and set the tone for what we hoped would be a great brunch. Unfortunately, our server, Conner, wasn't as welcoming. We upgraded to the bottomless mimosas, but every refill required us to flag her down. My brother and I each had around four mimosas, and not a single refill was offered proactively. It honestly felt like every pour was being rationed, as if the bottles were coming out of her own pocket instead of being part of the service we had already paid for. The most disappointing moment came when I flagged her down for one final refill. She told me, "I'm sorry, bottomless mimosas end at 3:00." I looked at the time...it was 3:02 p.m. After spending the entire meal chasing our server for refills, being denied over a two minute difference felt incredibly petty and left a bad impression. Because of the level of service, I chose not to tip waitress Conner. Instead, I gave my tip to the hostess and Mrs. Danielle because that's who genuinely elevated our experience. What surprised me most was Conner's reaction after noticing this, rather than handling it professionally, she visibly became upset, creating an awkward ending to what should have been a relaxing brunch. Literal tantrum. In public. Mrs. Danielle immediately stepped in, apologized, and handled the situation with professionalism and grace. She completely salvaged the experience, and she's the reason we'll be willing to come back. The view was BEAUTIFUL. I hope management recognizes how valuable employees like the hostess & Mrs. Danielle are. At the same time, I hope Conner receives coaching on attentive service and professionalism, because the contrast between the two was impossible to miss. As someone is the service department, those two minutes were negligible.

Super mid experience here. Picked up family from the airport and made a lunch reservation because…read moreit was a party of 7. We got there about ten minutes early and the hostess said that they needed to clear and clean our table, but "they already paid" so it wouldn't be long. This was a random Monday and the place was largely empty, but we did show up early and were totally content to wait. We told her we would be right outside (nice view of the marina) and she said she'd let us know. I went back up to the host stand after two parties our size walked in and were immediately seated, it was past our reservation time and no one had called for us. She looked at me completely without any recognition and asked how many in my party. I confirmed seven, and she started to tell me she wasn't sure when she would have a table available and asked if we had a reservation. It was an extremely confusing interaction, I had just spoken to her less than ten minutes prior and it was a very slow day. I said yes, we did have a reservation and she seated us immediately. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Half the entrees came out at once, although one person who had ordered a soup and an entree received the entree first and had to ask and wait for the soup. We all sat there for easily 5+ minutes before the other half of the table received their food... and two of the orders were completely wrong. The food tasted fine, but the errors and poorly-coordinated service meant we all sat there for far longer than we'd planned. I understand why there are many complaints here about the service; if this is the best they can manage on a Monday lunch with the restaurant over half empty, I can't imagine how the wheels must come completely off when they're at capacity. Won't bother to return, even though it's super close to the airport... maybe they rely on folks not coming back?!

Breakfast is my favorite meal so The Good Egg sounded like a great option for me. I arrived at…read moreabout 12:30 looking for a quick brunch. The restaurant was empty except for me and the staff with was great for me because I was in a hurry. The waitress was fantastic and ready to answer any questions I had. The star of the menu was (of course) egg related foods. I ordered the Santa Barbara omelette (grilled chicken, avocado) and a coffee. The food was ready within 10 min, fresh and hot. I got the fruit as my side which was a delight, with every major melon and berry (including raspberries!) represented. The entire seating area was spotless and well appointed with matching silverware and dishes. The bathrooms were very clean. The ambiance was laid by Latin music which wasn't overly loud. I'll definitely be coming here for lunch ask week!

I got the mimosa flight with orange, cranberry, pineapple, and grapefruit, a fun way to try a few flavors instead of committing to one. For food I ordered the salmon Benedict on gluten free bread.

Food and drinks were both solid. Will be back to try more of the menu.

The service was good and we got everything we ordered. A party of 5, we decided to get a sweet sampler and this was the best idea for a restaurant to provide. You get to mix & match pancakes and french toast. We ordered the fig jam & ricotta french toast, apple fritter pancake, and a brioche french toast with banana foster. We all agreed the sweets were good! I ordered the grilled cheese with tomato bisque and a side salad (instead of fries) and it was just okay. The tomato bisque appeared to have blended broccoli in it (I don't think it was pesto), but it wasnt the best bisque I've had. The grilled cheese was fine. The side salad was weak. The greens were not fresh and wilted, and no one likes a salad with sliced red onions and tomatoes dressed very lightly with balsamic vinegarette. I was not impressed with my lunch as much as the sweets plate. I also ordered a hibiscus lemonade which was more sweet than tart. They have more vegan options than I've seen at most other places so maybe their breakfast options would be my choice next time. My friends had mixed feelings about their plate. One liked the chilaquiles, one was not thrilled with the quinoa salad, and the other felt it needed salt/flavor on the chorizo omelet and potatoes.

This place is stacked with TVs so perfect for football games too. We came on a Saturday and it was a tad busy so should there be games definitely come early. We shared their 50/50 burger. Fries were great and the burger was solid. They have numerous beers on tap. I like ciders and they had some of those too. The real winner looks like their brunch. 1 dollar mimosas with a purchase of an entree. Special shout out to Ryan who was doing double duty by both bartending and serving. He was super attentive to each table and wanted to ensure everyone was having a good time. It's right by a parking lot which is helpful. All in all a solid restaurant/bar to watch the game. Their patio is also dog friendly.
