   Met friends for brunch at Java Nation, where we enjoyed a nice variety of menu items (would like to see a few more vegetarian options, however). Our server was lovely and attentive, and was willing to sub crab for smoked salmon on my benedict. It was perfectly cooked and delish. Cocktails were innovative and tasty. It was a little loud, but that just means that it was filled with others who have discovered what a gem this restaurant is. Reasonably priced and ample parking across the street.

   Loud music and raised voices mean it can be hard to hear. Food is good and service is excellent. .

   Love this place! Friday and Saturday evenings can get a bit loud with live music, but this is a clean place with great service and a menu with something for everyone!

   I really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. It was busy but not overbearingly loud. Service was slow, no one took our order so we had to flag them down, but everyone was pleasant. My husband really liked his turkey blt w/ truffle fries. I loved the harvest fattoush w/ salmon and the yogurt parfait was delicious.

   Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Our table was rushed out as soon as we paid. Didn't really appreciate that.

   We were branching for 5 family members before the AFI movies. Everyone enjoyed their meals and coffee and cocktails. It’s a hard group to please sometimes but we were all happy, happy! Service was great as was the food.

    Pros: the food was mostly good, and the menu had good options. Cons: our service was awful (slow, and the apps all came out with the entrees), my chicken was overcooked, and the mashed potatoes were cold.
