I love Hemingway Bistro. The food is excellent. The decor wonderful. The staff is professional, helpful, courteous and want you to enjoy your time there. I know I can order alcoholic drinks which I will enjoy. It is in my mind the first place I want to bring someone to for a special occasion and I am at ease that they will be extremely happy we went there. Never have had a bad experience ever and have been there enough to know. Just enjoyed first Sunday brunch visit. A man who was leaving when we were going in said it was great for him just then.

Parking is easy to find, with spots available on the major street and surrounding side streets, so you won’t have to worry much about that. We made a reservation via Table, which helped us get seated quickly—though it’s worth noting that most reservations seemed to be for larger parties, so we had a bit of an advantage as a smaller group. The service was prompt, and they took our order right away. We already knew what we wanted: I went with the green chilaquiles, my husband had the red, and my daughter opted for pancakes. Everything was delicious! A highlight was the Café de Olla—when we ordered the large, we were pleasantly surprised by the huge mug they brought out! It was so enjoyable. The atmosphere is also worth mentioning. The art and vibrant colors give the space a lively, welcoming feel. It’s a great spot whether you're with family or friends, perfect for a relaxed meal or catching up. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back!
