    Been here a number of times and the food is great (especially love the berry bar) but today the service was sub par. Half our table didn’t have cutlery and we had to get up and find someone to bring it to us. Some of the overhead lights were flickering which was giving me a headache. Also… we noticed someone using their fingers to serve themselves at the berry bar… kinda gross.

    Will definitely go back. Enjoyed the food. It was busy, but didn’t feel rushed. And all dishes were tasty. I had the Buddha bowl.

    Always consistent and solid. Busy but strong staff that know how to manage the crowds and still stay connected. Fresh and delicious food. Tip: Make the reservation to avoid long waits

    Farmers hash; Vegetables wore a bit burned the sad part was I couldn’t event tell which one is which nor not enough of them in the plate, one slice of purple potato was size of the quoter, served with 2oz of cubed corned beef and it was ridiculously petty and tiny, couldn’t even taste it, well written in the menu to spark up the imagination, poorly executed. Perception and reality is two different things. Time with family was wonderful….

    This is our favorite brunch spot in Seattle. The food is all locally sourced and/or organic. We feel safe feeding it to our infant son knowing it doesn’t have artificial colors/sweeteners or preservatives. The French toast is a MUST. Our service is always quick and so kind. Definitely recommend

    Excellent brunch spot. A bit pricey which reflects the very high quality of food/ingredients vs the flavor.
