I found Wishbone when I moved to the area several months back. Since then, I have taken myself and my current book/magazine to the bar to have breakfast once a week - every week - almost without fail.
Everything about Wishbone is delightful: warm and caring staff, exceptional food (much of which is grown at the owners' family ranch), a menu that changes monthly, delightful twists on breakfast norms, house-made pickles of all sorts (YUM!), my favorite "Bee Keeper" latte, etc. etc.
I have never had a breakfast there I didn't love, and I've tried just about everything they've offered thus far.
It's hard to imagine having a negative experience here - I read the 1-star review and had to wonder if perhaps that reviewer had a bad dream that seemed so real he reviewed it?!? Not that a restaurant can be perfect all the time - I'm sure mediocre plates have been churned out of the Wishbone kitchen from very occasional time-to-time (nothing's perfect, right?); but it's impossible to imagine either of the owners speaking to a customer the way that reviewer says they did.
Even if one of the "red haired" owners was having a schizophrenic episode in the front of the house, I'm fairly certain the other one would jump in and save the day - not rant about the cow giving up its life. That made me laugh, actually. Maybe that review was part of a Creative Writing course...?
Anyway, I love you Wishbone and I'm so thankful you're there for those of us with hearts and...
Read moreBeen coming here the last 4 years and I love that every time I come in there are new fun dishes on the menu to try!
On weekends, the place gets pretty crowded around brunch time but they open up the garden patio behind the restaurant to wait in until your table is ready. Sometimes the wait can be 45 minutes to an hour, but you're able to order a drink to enjoy on the patio while you wait as well.
If you're willing to cheat on your diet, highly recommend the "thick-cut" bacon as a side. The "Hot Mess" polenta bowl is easily my favorite on their menu with the pickled vegetables. You get a hefty portion so be sure to come in with an appetite.
If you get a coffee, ask them to top it with their own house made cream! The "Keenans Coffee" on their drink menu will beat any Irish coffee you'll find at the other restaurants in town. They're fresh pressed grapefruit juice is of the charts, same as any other juice on their menu.
This restaurant is small and the atmosphere is very comfortable, the parking lot in front of the restaurant is always full so you'll want to park across the street where there are plenty of parking spaces in front of the now-closed Terra Vino. This place is definitely worth the wait if you're coming during the busy...
Read moreI have never had an experience like tonight at Wishbone. My girlfriend returned her steak because it was cold, which it was. She got a cold shrimp salad as a replacement The owner came out and said that piece of steak was perfect, I said it was cold, she said she had eaten some of it and it was perfect. Then she left in a huff. I asked the waitress who the red head was and she said it was the owner. I told her I was extremely offended by the owners behavior and had never been treated like that in a restaurant. She said she would tell the owner. A minute later this red headed chick comes running out of the kitchen and took both of our plates which we hadn't finished.. Then this other red headed guy told us the cow had given up its life for us and it would be best for everyone if we left. I said, so do we have to pay for our stolen food and he said no, so we left. The food wasn't great anyway, I ordered brushetta which specially didn't say it had olives in is, which I hate and it was covered in olives. My risotto was mediocre, Still crunchy. Never...
