This place is so cute! We came in for brunch and the food was FABULOUS! The service, atmosphere, and the meal were top notch. I would highly recommend!

My experience at this restaurant was very positive, especially for a pre-show meal before heading to the Orpheum Theater. The food was good, and the service was friendly. We enjoyed a shared beet salad, Caesar salad, and the Honey Glazed Korean Fried Chicken, which was a surprisingly generous portion, including a half chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. The skin was nice and crispy, making it a great dish for those who are hungry. Others at our table ordered pasta and also enjoyed their meals. We finished with a pecan pie that was softer than expected. I would definitely go back again. It's strongly suggested to make reservations on show nights due to the convenient location.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. The pork belly Benedict was extremely flavorful, and the shineji mushroom omelette was full of umami. The chimichurri was fresh and delightful. We enjoyed our trip, and the wait staff were so kind and attentive. Definitely worth the trip!

My experience at this restaurant was a great breakfast with great service. It truly felt like an oasis, offering a welcome escape from the surrounding grime, smells, and chaos of the Civic Center.

I had a truly good sandwich, fried chicken I believe. I felt sorry for the waiter as he was by himself and had to serve everyone!

This was my second visit after a show at the Orpheum, and I highly recommend making reservations as this place is great. We experienced very friendly service, and the food was fresh and super yummy. I also loved the ambiance. They occasionally change menu dishes based on what's playing in the theatre, which is a nice touch. This will definitely be a regular spot for us! I strongly recommend trying the truffle mac n cheese, fish n chips, and the pasta. They were all so good! The lava cake was the best dessert we had.

I visited this restaurant with a group of 3-4 people for brunch and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the mint coffee latte was solid and refreshing, with a unique foam topping. The loco moco was hearty and the beef was extra tasty. The servers were nice, despite the very long wait. The decor is super cute and modern, creating a cozy, home-like ambiance that was also very clean. It seems like a good spot for a double date. However, we waited about an hour for our food, which felt too long, likely due to them being busy. The prices are also on the more expensive side. Overall, it was a cute find, and I would consider coming back if they weren't understaffed.

My experience at the restaurant was generally positive, with the food being a highlight. Specifically, the Truffle Mac was perfect. However, there was a point of disappointment when a menu item was 86'd, only to be seen served later. This inconsistency in menu availability was a letdown.

My experience at this restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag, particularly with the salads. On my first visit, I ordered the cob salad and it was good. However, on my second visit, the same salad was not the best, with the lettuce being subpar. Despite the salad inconsistency, the chicken and waffles and fish and chips were absolutely outstanding. The service was rated a 4, the meal was lunch, and the price per person was $20–30. There was no wait time, and the atmosphere was also rated a 4, with food receiving a 4.

My experience at the restaurant was decent. The food was good, though not great. I found the chicken sandwich to be not super flavorful, but the Korean tacos were pretty good. The service and atmosphere both received a perfect score of 5, indicating a very positive experience in those areas.
