"Something has changed at what used to be a favorite. Only 3 clams and 0 mussels in bouillabaisse, mediocre beef where filet mignon should have been in the lomo saltado, slow service, and the capper, a bill with augmented prices to cover credit card charges. Should have remembered to bring $150 in cash when I stop somewhere for a bite."
"very mediocre pricey food. been there twice and same impression both times. $18 for a salad that is smallish but pretty good is a mediocre value and no reason to return again. very nice outdoor seating."
"I used to come here all the time but this place fell off. Aside from being understaffed, they add an undisclosed 4% on all menu items. Yes you read that right. When I ask why it’s not disclosed, they say “the system is broken” and proceed to tack on the 4% surcharge. This is illegal. They also add an ADDITIONAL surcharge for using your credit credit. Don’t come here."
"I've been meaning to come to this place for a loooooonnnnnngggg time since I live so close to it and I finally found the time to stop by recently. It's a cute little spot with character and great service. It's location is a little unorthodox but that's ok, it kinda adds to the character. We decided to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. The patio is covered so you don't get baked and they have these really cool live edge tables to sit. They offer some nice wine based drinks which are nice on a warm day. The food selection is nice in that they don't have a massive list but the things they do have is well thought out. I would describe it as Cali/International Fusion. I got the Lomo Saltado (I'm a huge fan of the dish) and everyone puts their spin on it. Theirs was good. I'm not going to nit-pick on the little details but again, it was good. One thing not directly related to the dining experience is that their website is super dated and it's difficult on a modern OS machine. For example it freezes my computer so I avoid it and come to yelp or google. Anyways, go check it out and enjoy!"
"Such a cute restaurant surrounded by great trails. If you come out to visit make time to explore the area. Food is delicious if you like crispy wings you must try! Great selection of salads. Decent wine and beer selection. Prices are reasonable and service was quick. They also have an outdoor patio. They close after lunch @ 2:30pm and reopen @ 5 for dinner."
