    Came here on Mother’s Day and had a wonderful brunch. It was mostly reservations so not overly crowded like some places on a special day. Service was friendly and attentive. Ordered the cinnamon rolls and I had an iced almond milk vanilla latte and my guest had an iced mocha latte. Both coffees were strong and perfectly sweetened and creamy. The two cinnamon rolls were big, scratch made and delicious. So big in fact that we shared one to not spoil our appetites for the mains. We both got Eggs Benedicts, but different kinds, crab Benedict and the narrative regular one. Both we so delicious I would love to come back to have them again. The restaurant ambience is upscale, the background music nice and not too loud to talk. Tables separated enough to not hear your neighbors conversation. Also street parking is free on Sundays. All in all it was wonderful. Highly recommend you come for brunch.

    This was a great find. Very nice interior. Not crazy loud like a lot of places tend to be. Best part was undoubtedly the service. Most friendly. And I could find something vegetarian. Thank you folks. I’ll be back.

    Not a lot of food options, but what I did have was really good the kale and Chia pudding bowl. The service was excellent! I definitely recommend Narrative and will be back.

    Neat space and good atmosphere; however, very disappointed with price point vs quantity received. $37 for salmon with the tiniest, most pretentious portion I've seen in a while. My mistake for not thinking this through given the location. $25 for a glass of cab. $20 for an old fashioned. Been here for happy hour before, with decent HH offerings and pricing, but will not return for any meals - business or otherwise.

    It was soooo good. Highly recommend. If I had to say one thing to improve on- I had the smoothie bowl and by the time I was 3/4 in to it, it was just too sweet to finish- delicious but maybe a tad less sweetness between the granola, fruit, smoothie and chia pudding.

    Great service. Tuna poke is the bomb! I wish the shades were opened up in the evening time.
