    Consistently delicious. Mimosa flight, mushroom omelet and seafood omelet are the best! They have indoor seating and two patios (the original front patio on Sunset and a newer patio in the back). There is also charming seating in the area in between in the courtyard.

    We had a great time here for my boyfriend’s birthday on a Wednesday night! They didn’t provide anything special, but that’s ok. We didn’t expect anything special. Seemed like it was comedy night so it started getting louder as the night went on but overall was a good experience. We ordered the burger, shrimp basket, and mac&cheese. Surprisingly yummy! Weed is good and it’s cool that you can smoke openly. The only downside is if you’re downwind of someone also smoking and you get hit in the face with someone else’s smoke, but that’s expected. Our waiter was friendly and not overbearing, answered our questions and came around enough to make us not feel neglected. I can imagine it getting a bit more difficult to get your food in a timely manner or waiving down your waiter if it’s super busy. Other than that, highly recommend for a fun night out especially on a week night to avoid crowds!

    I had the sea bass, which was fabulous and my wife had the gluten-free pizza which topped most any other GF pizza crust out there and with hot, fresh ingredients. It was worth the drive for us and the location was super quaint.
