   Nice place, great ambiance, food was very good. View out on the Mission added a lot of substance to the ambiance.

   The food was excellent but I sure miss the coconut cake (hint, hint). I know I heard people complaining it was not the same as the previous owner. Don't listen to them. I tried your version and it was great. Please bring back the Coconut cake. This is still a wonderful place to eat and we go there quite a bit.

   Had a great dinner here! I’ve lived in San Juan for years and have been meaning to try this spot, I’ve heard great things about their brunch but decided to stop in for a last minute dinner. Our server was wonderful and gave great suggestions. We started with the onion soup, clam chowder, and artichoke and everything was delish. I ordered the piccata for dinner and husband got the fish and chips, both were delicious as well! Ordered the soufflé for dessert which we were told takes approx 20 mins, was shocked when it came out because it is HUGE! Definitely able to share with 4+ people. We will be back to eat for sure, can’t wait to try it for brunch soon!

   This was our first time eating dinner at this restaurant. When we arrived, we asked to be seated in a booth and were seated at a nice booth in the dining room. However, they didn’t bother to tell us that if we had chosen the bar area or the patio we could have participated in their all day happy hour. Because we were seated in the dining room, we were not entitled to the happy hour prices. This is something they should have explained to us when we arrived as we would have chosen a location with the happy hour. The service was a little slow, and when my son ordered ketchup for his french fries, they brought him chipotle ketchup, which was too hot for him to eat, It took some time for the waitress to come back so he could order regular ketchup. We ordered tartar sauce for the calamari, which never came. The food was good with large portions.

   While the food was mostly good, the Caesar salads were drab at best. They tasted fine but just needed something to take it to the next level. Services was lacking. It took a long time to get our drinks from the bar. Same with the food. The busboys took better care of us than our waiter. All in all the total experience was OK.

   Hi Tracey, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your Caesar as it is our #1 selling salad. Also, I apologize that your drinks took too long to be served. Not sure when you visited us but I hope that you will try us again. Kindly, David Wilhelm Partner

   Indoor and patio choices - we ate indoors and everyone enjoyed their brunch: french onion soup, fish and chips, hash, chicken & waffles. Nothing disappointed.

   Beautiful surroundings, friendly and efficient service, and super yummo food. We had a wonderful night catching up with friends. Also noticed how happy people were with a large indoor corporate event and a patio private event.
