This place has gone slightly down hill. This was once a favorite but the bar tenders seem preoccupied and forgetful. The food still tastes fine and the lobster omlet was very nice and they did not skimp on the lobster, but plating seemed almost school cafeteria like. Prices are $10 to $20 a plate on average.

The best vegetarian lasagna I’ve ever had. If you want excellent food and great friendly service – look no further. Awesome patio with lounge chairs and a fire place to relax and keep you warm while enjoying a nice meal. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could.

Went on a Sunday for brunch – we were one of two tables and it took 15 minutes to get drinks. They didn’t have a kids menu available “until later” so we ordered a breakfast dish we thought would be quick (eggs & potatoes). Took 20 minutes and the potatoes were cold when they arrived. Our food was average at best. I typically write reviews when I have something nice to say but the only redeeming quality was the patio on a nice day

So this used to be sun dried tomato, but now it’s called “Our Place”. We’ve eaten there 3 times generally the food is pretty good however we’ve noticed it’s inconsistent? First time was very good I had the fried chicken sandwich with the house salad which was delicious, my companion had a large beet salad also good. Went back later for dinner and I decided on the same salad as an entree with chicken added, obviously a different chef and size and taste was poor, definitely not the same. My wife had sliders which were 3 teeny tiny dry patties a pickle slice and were very poor in appearance and taste. Went back again and decided to order the burger and side salad, the burger advertised at half pound was tiny and about the size of an “in and out” burger but not as good. I asked for medium and it was overcooked to the point of being dry with no seasoning. I requested grilled onion and was up charged $2? My wife ordered the half chicken sandwich and salad combo which was more expensive than if she ordered the whole sandwich with salad, the caveat being you would get a larger salad, she didn’t it was quit small, same size as my burger with salad which before the up charge was $1 less . We had observed on the first visit that that others who ordered this got a much larger salad to go with a half sandwich, so basically your paying more for a half sandwich and salad than if you ordered the whole sandwich???? Can only assume different chefs? Overall the service was good the food reasonable priced but inconsistent in quality and portion. Would like to try some other dishes and hope we get the “good” chef. Probably won’t be back for a while until they get their act together.

Hands down, best turkey I’ve ever had…thick sliced, very moist and flavorful. The entire plate was scrumptious and truly perfect for Thanksgiving, this year. I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t miss cooking and having the “traditional” dinner, but, the atmosphere and food made me forget all that doubt. Ive had food from restaurants before, serving large groups (the same menu) and often, you can tell because its just not, “fresh out of the oven” tasting, not hot enough, as though it’s sat around, in the hustle-bustle, etc.
I made several comments of praise to our waiter, from my first course(amazing salad with pomegranate seeds and loved the vinaigrette) to the main course, and the dessert. I couldn’t help it!
So, I highly recommend it for anyone to try, next Thanksgiving and if im staying local, i look forward to it as well. And, will be sampling their regular menu now that they’ve “wowed” me with how they handled Thanksgiving!
Thanks, very much!

Our server Sonia set the ” tone ” of the evening with her wonderful greeting. Joyful and filled with knowledge she guided us through the menu while at the same time answering all of my silly questions. Her suggestions worked out wonderfully, the beer was cold and I was so impressed with the evening I wanted to say thanks publicly. Thank you Sonia and to the attentive staff that kept the waters full and the table clean. And a big thanks to the cooks and everyone I didn’t see, the food that was brought out was delicious thanks to your dedication and hard work.

We loved Sundried Tomato!!!! Food constantly good. Since new owners have taken over, food is dismal at best. Ordered to go Well done burger… Burger delivered RARE. Ordered side salad with NO hearts of palm and guess what?., Hearts of Palm all over my salad with a very watery green salad dressing. To say we do not love the new restaurant and will no longer frequent this mediocre at best restaurant. We did attempt to call and speak with the restaurant mgr who was n/a. Instead we had to speak with the mgr of the chefs which was another laugh because there was nothing he wanted to do or could do. He told me to call back Friday and speak with General mgr Jenny M. Duly noted and will do.

The food was good, but not amazing; we have been there a number of times, and we have enjoyed our food. There was a change that was glaring this time. The service was mediocre and the staff was not trained well. We were not greeted when we walked in which taints the first impression. Our server was nice, but we had to ask for more water and utensils as she did not come back but once to see if we got our food. A person in my party asked for no tomatoes, but his dish came with it and when the server noticed it, she did not say a word. Since we were tucked away toward the back we could not flag someone down to fix our table, so my husband had to use his napkin to stabilize it. Another server came over to deliver my glass of wine, but before she even reached our table she was already “auctioning” it off loudly to our table. Another table had to take over their dirty dishes to the bus boy because their table was not being cleared. It was not terrible service, but it was noticeably not professional. A bit of training and quality control on their plates would help.

Award for most improved restaurant in the area! We have been going here since the place opened. The service has graduated to first class and the food is much more sophisticated, but it has always been good. It was great to see the place buzzing on a week night. We had the OC restaurant week specials, and they were a great value. The Jalapeno soup was the stand out creative item.
