My partner and I got two drinks, the honey dew me and the huckleberry drink. The honey dew me is exactly what I aim for when I order drinks, no complaints, not too tart, not too sweet, well balanced, delicious. The huckleberry was tart and refreshing, just what my partner wanted.
For lunch we split a bunch of small plates. We got the smoked albacore dip (which was my partners favorite), the ocean trout tartare (which was my favorite, so refreshing), the sunchokes, and the bbq oysters. While I’m glad I tried the oysters and they were good, that was the only dish that we agreed that we wouldn’t order again. But everything else we will definitely be coming back for. Everything was fresh and refreshing and flavorful and fun in texture. Loved how the chickpeas added a crunch to the sunchokes. The bread and crackers were able to stand alone by themselves in the dip and tartare dishes. Absolutely loved our meal and will be back for more!
Located in the Arts District, the space is beautiful — semi-outdoor and filled with natural light. There’s an art gallery right next door, and the moment you walk in, it feels very artsy and thoughtfully designed. Super photogenic and definitely a place you’d want to take pictures.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Honestly exceeded expectations. I didn’t come in with super high hopes for the food, but everything was surprisingly good. The cream biscuit was a standout — probably the crispiest biscuit I’ve ever had, and it paired perfectly with the butter and apricot jam. The salmon with bread was also delicious, and the bread itself was a big plus — very crisp and well done.
Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Came for the vibes, stayed for the food. A rare case where a “pretty brunch spot” actually delivers on taste. Would definitely come back again.
Unfortunately, this experience started off poorly. I accidentally selected the wrong reservation time and was unable to change it through OpenTable, which directed me to call the restaurant instead. Over the course of two hours, I called 19 times and was never able to reach anyone. Since a credit card was already on file, we did our best to arrive as close to the original time as possible, and thankfully we were still seated.
The food itself was disappointing. The cornbread was subpar, the duck breast was decent, but the small sliver of mashed potatoes served alongside it felt confusing and incomplete. The burger bun was completely burnt (see photo), and overall the dishes lacked the quality and execution we remembered from our prior visit. Everything felt very average.
All things considered, this did not feel like a $200 dining experience. Given how much we enjoyed our first visit, this was especially disappointing
Great food, incredible staff, and a beautiful venue an outstanding experience from start to finish.
