We love this place! The food is all good, so many delicious choices, including the best burger and fries I’ve ever had. I highly recommend. It’s a small dining/bar area so it’s good to make reservations

The service was good until a server seemed to recognize a couple that were seated after us. We had to then wait for that couple to be served before it was our turn.

Out of towners looking for a late breakfast. Googled “best brunches in Edmunds” and this place came up. Didn’t expect to roll up to a strip mall joint, but we were so presently surprised by the nice welcoming interior. Difficult menu, as in, we wanted everything! Went with the Chinese churro donuts, the kimchi moco burrito, and the pork belly chile verde hash. All three were fantastic!! Doesn’t hurt that they had good coffee too. Regrettably, I had no room for a Carajillo, a recently discovered favorite of mine, but I will try again next time!

We have been many times. The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is terrific. We always make reservations. The service is usually terrific. Not this time. First time meeting this server. We've been going for years. He informed us he'd been there well over a year. We just never met. From the off we appeared to be a burden. We tried to make a connection to improve the interaction . That did not help. We have family in service so we know how it works. We tried to understand what might be happening in his night But, the diners beside us were getting a very different experience. It was very strange. It really ruined our night. I should probably only give the experience a 2 star.
