We made reservations for a late brunch on a Sunday. The place was packed, but our table was ready within minutes. A breath of fresh air with the bright ambience despite the lingering cold winter days. Selecting a cocktail was a challenge with so many good options. Our server was a great help in deciding on a Rose and a mixed drink (can remember the name) but they were wonderful. We split the veggie and turkey burger both with a side of their delicious shoestring french fries. Our server overheard us toasting our friend for her birthday and surprised her at the end with a small dessert with a candle. She was thrilled. From food to service our experience exceeded our expectations. Can't wait to go back!
I've been there twice and have gotten the Hash brown Eggs Benedict both times. YUM. I love the crispness of the hash browns as they get soaked by the egg yolk. I've also tried the gluten-free chocolate chip waffle and again, YUM. I'll have to go back in the summer time so I can sit under the open roof/ceiling.
The food were good but it wasn't as good as their baked goods. A large selection of cookies! The malted chocolate chip cookie is giant and the best! We had a very long wait despite having reservation the first time there, they gave us a free appetizer with watermelon on it. It was surprisingly very good!! The second time we were sat right away with reservation. Neither time I got to sit under the sunroof though. It was my reason to go there to feel like I'm in a warmer place.
Want to try Californian cuisine without going to California, try summer house. The ambiance is fantastic. Great place for groups, couples and just hanging out. The food is delicious. The share plates are good path to go. Definitely have some Rose with dinner. Dessert has it's own counter and lots to choose from. Staff is attentive without being intrusive. I would recommend get reservations ahead of time.
This is one of my go to lunch places. The ambiance is nice and it's so bright inside. During the summer, the windows are all open and during the winter, you almost feel like you're outside. The food is delicious! A little pricier than I'd like, but it's really good. If you like skinny fries, this is the place to go!
