further and foremost service was absolutely amazing we had a young lady with pinkish hair ( and I can not think of her name) helped us out and she was supper nice fast friendly and had everything under control supper nice gave us some good recommendations and helped us out to make good decisions i had a Ramen noddle with shrimp and egg and it was pretty good but seemed very basic nothing more than noodles and ginger flavors she did say to maybe add some hot chili which gave the dish lots of flavor bit again nothing other than noodles and not many at that I was happy with it but not sure it was worth the excitement to order and the cost we also shared a pepperoni pizza and while it came out supper fast it was also dripping oil little to.much pepperoni so it tasted a little salty and therefore the excessive oil we also order the chicken with potatoes and veggies and that was really good HUGE plate and plenty of veggies and potatoes mushroom soup was also very tasty and my kid was happy with his burger seemed a little simple but I don't know what he ordered mu wife order their special penny a la vodka and it was very tasty so not all bad but not to brag about SERVICE AWESOME FOOD GOOD and being so close to street and public parking garage was just a plus UPDATE JUNE 30 2024 DIEFFERNT SERVER SHE HAD A LARGE PARTY BY HER SELF PLUS A COUPLE OTHER TABLES QE FOUND OURSELVES WATINGBFOR REFILLS AND BILL I ORDERED THEIR RIB PLATTER WHICH COME WITH RICE AND SOME BEEF RIBS NOT MY FAVORITE AND IT SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THEIR MAIN ITEMS NOT SO GREAT WE HAD A FLY ROAMING AROUND THW ENTIRE MEAL AND LOTS OF FOOD FLYS ONE ACTUALLY IN MY KID'S DRINK BUT COULDNT TELL NO ONE BECAUSE NO ONE WALKED BY EXEPT THE BUSSERS WHO IS ACTUALLY WHO DID MOST OF OUR SERVICE OVER ALL A 4 OUT OF 10 NOVER GOT REFILS UNTIL WE ASKED AND ONLY ONE TIME DID AHE ASK ABOUT OUR FOOD AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES FROM GETTING OUT MEAL SHE WASNT BAS BUT AHE WAS TO BUSY WHILE THE REST OF THE PLACE LOOKED A BUT MORE RELAXED....

Took my mom here for her birthday on a Saturday afternoon. I made reservations online which was super easy, I had to modify the number of people last minute & was able to do so online - super convenient!

When we arrived, we were seated right away and given a booth.

Our waiter was friendly & patient with our questions. My mom had some questions about some dishes and if we can substitute the meat for tofu. He checked with the kitchen staff & confirmed that yes, they can make it happen. They do have a system to call out those special dishes on the menu - gf = gluten free, v = vegetarian, vg = vegan.

I ordered a latte (I tried to order a vanilla latte but they don't do do flavors, oops) --- the latte was a bit burnt but I drank it since I needed the caffeine for our day ahead (we had a whole itinerary planned). My mom ordered a black coffee.

Their menu is a fusion of sorts - ranging from breakfast items to pizzas to Korean style ribs. So I'm sure you'll find something that tickles your pickle.

It was brunch time so I ordered Eggs Benedict without the meat with a side salad. It was good, not too bad. I usually have my eggs over hard (yes, even with a benedict) so the eggs were too runny for me. It wasn't their fault - they aren't mind readers. My mom ordered the Napa Local Breakfast Plate with Tofu instead of meat. She said it was okay. I did like how the tofu was cooked - it was the consistency of fried tofu.

They started to get busy as we ate but the staff didn't hurry us out so my mom & I could catch up a bit. That was nice.

All in all, brunch was good. I think there are other places I'd go to for brunch next time but I'll definitely be back for lunch/dinner since their menu options look...

Keep reading until the end. I really like this restaurant. Excellent food and service with a lively atmosphere. However, and there might always be a "however". I've run businesses all my life, I'm almost 80 years of age, but never would I charge my customer additional charges over and above what I have quoted them. In this case prices on restaurant menu items. I'm speaking of adding health care costs at the end of the bill. Yes, health care cost are expensive but they are the cost of doing business. All prices on any menu should reflect all costs of doing business. Should a restaurant start adding additional fees onto a check for let's say the cost of garbage disposal or anything that are costs of running a business. Of course not! All costs should be reflected in the pricing of goods being sold, that's basic business. After a heated discussion with the host and her consent interruption, she decided to remove the additional charge from my bill. The removal wasn't necessary but I guess I made a point. Costs are costs and pricing on charges on any bill whether it's getting your tire changed on a car or eating out should be reflected on pricing for particular items and not as add on bills. Unfortunately for this restaurant, even though I enjoy the food and atmosphere I won't be returning. Wonder how much that will cost the owner. As a caveat, I had forgotten my CC and the Bartender kindly chased me down the street to return it. I gave him the cash for the return and service. Wonder if he should have charged me something for the return. Special...
