The chicken and veggies in a creamy Parmesan sauce were good but it stacks up and they just drown the food in it - skip it next time, I liked the quesadillas. Russ liked the chili Colorado better than ranchero steak which was too thin. The strawberry margarita was much better than the raspberry one. Mango is decent and peach is good too but I think blackberry is 2nd place. The chips aren’t great but the queso is good. Wouldn’t get the cheese enchiladas again, kind of bland. Russ wants to get the Arroz con Pollo next time because he got that sauce with shrimp in it and it would be better with chicken. I had the tortilla soup and it was nowhere near as good as Los Toritos.

We went during the brunch Sunday 8 AM - 2 PM and I really liked the breakfast burrito and the sweet potato fries! Russ got the chicken sandwich which was messy but not bad. He would try something different next time. The tots were okay, but the sweet potato fries were better. They have a large dog friendly deck & patio with a great view and it was only $30 for a good meal in a nice location so we will be back!

The four-way is delicious as usual! We also tried their new dip with cream cheese mixed in, and it was very delicious. I got the ice cream again and it wasn’t as good so don’t repeat.

This pesto chicken power bowl lacked a bit of flavor. I think they forgot to add extra pesto. Also, the sweet potato pancake was a little overdone on the bottom side. But the single scrambled egg for Otis was very good and their patio is well covered, and a great spot to sit with a pup!

This location had ricotta and it made my pizza. Amazing! I don’t know if they all do. I also finally remembered to get sausage instead of chicken and the flavors were great. The oven was a little too hot though so the bottom of the pizza crust wasn’t great.

Potato soup was good, chipotle bowl had some kick to it and I had to add shredded cheese. Russ would get the steak again and said it was decent

Really loved the Pablo salad. Alfredo the dark pasta was sooo good too! Come for lunch specials on weekends! The pizza was okay but least impressive thing. Cheesecake was phenomenal and skillet cookie was so gooey and yummy. Don’t need extra chocolate chips on top.

Dog friendly patio location. Loved it all, though they put too much pesto on my power bowl. Though the traffic is loud at this one. Egg for Otis.

I couldn’t choose between the soups and I’m so glad I got both. The crushed red pepper, chicken, and the potato were both fantastic! I also got the Summerberry chicken salad and it was decent but I wouldn’t get it again. I did like the raspberry vinaigrette. Russell liked his country ham and eggs. Overall, a really great spot when you’re passing through the area

This place was good, but I wouldn’t rush to return. I would not get the samosas or the butter naan again because they were quite plain. The butter chicken was decent so it had a different interesting flavor and the lamb Rogan Josh was fine

Five years later in this place still holds up as fabulous! They bring you a large beignet type scone to start. And the grandpa’s breakfast tacos were absolutely delicious! I just got green onion, tomato and pepper jack cheese and I want to try to re-create that at home. Russell got the chicken waffle and it was essentially three different chickens. It was so huge. Totally fun and funky and worth the wait

Definitely a swanky vibe and the drinks were nice too. I got the easy tiger and we both liked it, but I could only drink one. Russell got their old-fashioned and then ordered a Hazen which they put a little too much almond cream in

I sampled the ice cream, but it wasn’t as good as Tillamook so I just got a brownie and whipped cream instead, which was just OK and not very warm despite the girl heating it up. Wouldn’t rush to return.

Unfortunately, the best thing about this place was the dog friendly patio. Everything I tried had a tangy taste to it - I think this chef just isn’t compatible with my flavor profile. The salmon was the most okay but it still wasn’t something I would get again. The potato appetizer was inedible and the salad would have been good if it wasn’t drowning in vinaigrette and crunchy shallots. Even the side of rice was not a flavor either Russ or I wanted to eat. A total miss for $100 :(

Russell loved the wild boar blueberry sausage and the elk was good. The kangaroo was way too dry. I really liked my chicken Chipotle mango with cream cheese on it. And their chimichurri dipping sauce was fabulous. I liked the cheesecake too.

The fried corn tempura was really tasty! I liked the yellow curry and Russ really liked Thai iced tea and the tamarind chicken. The mango sticky rice was decent but would skip next time. They gave us free pork larb and Russ liked it but it was a bit too spicy. Nice dog friendly spot though it was a warm day!

The fresh mozzarella, almond and olive plate was very good and we liked the Thai chicken pizza. Very cool that it’s dog friendly inside and out.

Holy cow this place is great!!! The potato soup was the best I’ve ever had. The potato dauphinese is delicious and their waffle with Japanese pear special basically ruined cinnamon apples for us. Russ said he wouldn’t get the Spanish eggs again and I didn’t love the stuffed French toast as much as the waffle. Russ loved the lemon blueberry waffle and the lamb sausage is a great side! Old fashioned wasn’t the best.

High-ish prices but the quality to match. The Dahl soup was delicious and hit the spot. Great samosa and great naan. The butter chicken was good, but I would get something different next time.

The salmon dish was so good! Even though the onion jam isn’t sitting well. Russell loved the halibut and it came with delicious crab risotto. The huckleberry crumble was good but the flourless chocolate was too hard. The cookies are huge and delicious and we got 2 to go! Definitely coming back here - great ambience too!
