   First time there in the Manhattan Beach location French toast was great. The bottle is mimosas mango and guava. We’re good. Can’t wait to come back on Tuesday.

   Checked out the lunch menu on their website before making a reservation here and when we arrived, only brunch menu was offered/available. That was a little disappointing. Ordered a lemonade and it was so watered down. Not worth it for $4. Disappointing. Ordered their burger of the month. Asked for a specific internal temperature for the meat but they could only accommodate the typical medium, medium well, etc. Supposed to have jalapeño aioli or something but I didn't taste any spice. It was nothing special at all. Not worth $15. On their brunch menu the kids pancake is $8 and kids eggs any style $10. When the bill arrived it showed $12 each. I just checked their website and it also says $8 & $10. I don't know why the up charge of the $4 & $2, but $12 for just 2 pancakes, even if blueberries pancakes, is not worth it. Disappointed overall.

   We were charged for items that weren’t ours which was disappointing.

   Great place! It was a bit loud but we made it work and it quieted down as people left. It’s a small location and relatively busy so it made sense it was loud. Food was good, no complaints. Especially getting a burger for $2 on Tuesdays?! I’ll be back.

   I came with a friend for dinner. We didn’t have the best experience. There were only two servers for all of the tables and they were very notably overwhelmed. Our server was nice though, so no complaints about them. Our food took about 45mins-1hr to come out. The bbq chicken flatbread pizza was burnt and not good, the fish and chips were very bland and had no taste, and the steak frites was over cooked and burnt on the outside. I asked for a medium cook, but the outside was crunchy and very chewy, and only one piece had a little bit of pink. The food was too expensive to not be good in my opinion. We also ordered a steak salad to go which the person was unable to eat because it tasted so bad :( Also the lemonade was ok, just a little watery and we were never offered refills because they were so busy :/

   Went for breakfast and the people were really nice but the windows were open and it was so cold. Coffee and food got cold quickly.

   Very festively decorated for the holidays. Cute little quaint stop for lunch while in Manhattan Beach area. Everything we had was great!

    This neighborhood gem never disappoints! They consistently serve up great food, amazing happy hour deals, and their delicious burger night on Tuesdays is a must-try. The service is always top-notch—our server Trent was fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
