For dinner , get the lamburger: Cooked to a rosy shade and speckled with oregano , the patty is slightly gamy but thrilling because of it. It is one of the best places to have dinner in OC. Read more

Try their Bellini with brunch ! It's delicious! I loved their spinach and feta omelette . Go after 1pm on the weekends to avoid a wait and get super fast service !

LAMIA

Shirred egg 100/10 absolutely delicious and recommended. Coconut French toast really good too.However,the hygiene level of the serveware is questionable especially when it gets crowded during weekend

Dana Alissa

if it's your first time here I recommend ordering Raspberry pancakes .. really delicious

Dëva Holik

Brunch is the best. Try the crab omelette or the trout and if they have it the salmon chowder is amazingly flavorful. Chicken Apple sausage is home made . Gets busy on weekends.

Angela Poghosyan

So good!! We had the feta and spinach omelette , coconut waffles and hazelett pancakes . All great. Coffee could be getter.

Majed Alashari

The shirred eggs is soooooo good .. The dutch cake is something different but overrated in my opinion .. I liked the original buttermilk pancaked better ????

Valerie Barro

The brunch is always delicious but it seems to have become a bit of a scene on the weekends. The menu doesn't change all that often but their dishes are well done.

SpyTeal21

Get the blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon . It also comes with real maple syrup . No regrets.

Rima Alisa

Coconut french toast ????????????

Hano F

Scott Arrredondo

I had the coconut French toast !! So amazing!!

Sam Hendricks

The lumberjack special was crazy. Pancakes stacked with pulled pork , and eggs on the top.

Francisco J. Barrera

$75 for 3 plates, 2 OJs and 2 coffee might be a little too much. Nevertheless, the food was exquisite and totally worth it!

Norah Alzamil

Nice place the waffle was good and omelet with cheese and mushroom

Tina Kang

Coconut French toast

Lears Fool

Every bite of my coconut french toast had a piece of fresh fruit . Abundant.

Arlynn A

Order the "Dutch Baby " as soon as you get seated. It takes 30mins to cook. Thank me later!

James T

Crab and asparagus omelette with hollandaise on the side was a winner.

Mario A

Hidden in a strip mall but a gem of a find.

John M.

If you like sweet, go for the Coconut French Toast ! Topped with powdered sugar and fresh fruit (strawberries , bananas and papaya ).

Yvette Ollada

Gotta get the Dutch Baby but SKIP the syrup and butter. Just do powedered sugar and TONS of lemon . You'll have to keep the lemon coming.

Thuraya

Weekend Brunch . Order Waffles , Santa Fe Eggs Benedict , and Coconut French Toast
