    This was my second time here and of course had to return on our way to the theater. Such good food and really great and friendly service. It was quite busy so I recommend reservations. must try - the crepes with their homemade strawberry jam.

    Arrived on a busy Friday to find the place slammed due to early reservations arriving late and all at once. Nonetheless, our requested outdoor table was ready and we were greeted with smiles. The owners did a fantastic job of handling the crowd without missing a beat - checking on tables frequently, apologizing for waits that were really not that long, and handling some critical and rude customers with grace and professionalism. We were delighted with our food - we ordered some plates to share. The fries were crispy and flavorful and a standout even though we enjoyed everything. The basque cheesecake was a revelation - flavor and texture showed skill and restraint. It was house-made, as was the strawberry jam that accompanied it. We left nothing. The wine list is well-curated and nicely priced. I also appreciated the extensive selection of Athletic Brewing Company N/A offerings. It is nice to have more than a single mediocre option for those don't want alcohol but do want a good beverage. The owners were incredibly professional and gracious. I will definitely return!

    Delicious food and reasonably priced selection of drinks. Extremely busy before nearby Balboa and Civic Theatre productions, but exemplary and fast service provided. Friendly and knowledgeable owners. Several nearby restaurants to choose from, but this will be your favorite!

    My wife and I have been there several times already and each time was just as good. It can get a little busy before a show at the Civic Center, but they do a great job of taking care of you. Great food. I will continue to go and keep this place as a go to spot before a show.
