    Dined on Jun 28, 2025
    We had a large party of 18 adults , 2 toddlers and an infant. We sat outdoors near the driving range and the view of golf course was nice. The service was amazing and happy with Virginia, Austin and Dominga , who were all very helpful and attentive. I would suggest making reservations on Open table for large parties so they can have your table ready upon arrival. The food was yummy ams would recommend dishes like the smoked salmon tower which can be shared between 2-3 people. The wagyu smashed burger was delicious and flavorful. The burrata salad was excellent as well as the avocado toast which was perfect for sharing. Food and overall is very tasty but a bit on the pricey side. We also had some alcoholic beverages and would recommend their bloody Mary’s and espresso martinis and their pear drink, very refreshing. Overall, a great experience. The only criticism is the restaurant can invest in getting fans or misters for outdoor seating as it can get extremely warm in East County even under the awning. Also, it would be nice to have fly fans for the tables as there were lots of flies buzzing around us and the food. Other than that, awesome brunch place. Thanks to all the staff and manager Jimmy untreated us really well. Will definitely be back !!!
