Be prepared for a wait as they do not take reservations, however it was very good. Chipotle Beef burger was very good, my wife ordered it without the aioli & onions as she is not a fan of those. I had the Roasted Turkey Club on toasted sourdough, it was very good. Our son had the Commoner Breakfast with the scrambled eggs and he said it was very good also. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I can highly recommend as it was a very good food and a very busy place!

Perfect spot to catch up with a friend for lunch! Lovely selection of light flavorful salads and superb wine menu. I ordered the blackened shrimp salad. Definitely will be coming back to try dinner

Food was awesome. Service seemed rushed the whole time – our server came around and asked us if we were ready five times in 20 minutes as we settled into lunch. We had to ask for water three times before getting some. Portions are great, I would go back.

We were excited to eat and were so hungry when we got there. We were warmly greeted with a smile and sat immediately, we came after the morning rush.

On this Sunday it was a little chaotic here. A fifteen minutes wait turned to 30, with another 30 minutes before we saw any food. The kitchen size to restaurant ratio could just be off and there was some challenges with the kitchen. The host and servers worked hard to keep things moving as fast as they could. The food tasted fine, the shakshuka was tasty, the French toast was nicely flavored though a little dry on the outer edges. The price for the quantity of food wasn’t great, but this is Santa Monica, you’re on a diet even if you’re not. Nice spot to try, just give yourself enough time.

This place is really awesome! When you walk in, you’ll notice how cool it is as they’ve set up the restaurant in different sections of an old building. And guess what? They have a bunch of outdoor seating, and they’re super pet-friendly, so you’ll see loads of adorable dogs around. The best part is the service – it’s super quick and friendly, and they’ve got plenty of staff making sure you never run out of water and that your table stays clean.

Very nice outdoor and indoor spaces. Have only had breakfast and brunch there and everything we have tried has been very good. Coffee drinks are just fair though. Always had excellent waiters. Plenty of food on your plate. It is a favorite stop.

The food here was good, but portion sizes were almost ridiculous for the price paid. For example, the avocado toast came with only one slice, which was also lacking salt and honestly flavor, no one should have to pay $13 for that. Other dishes were fine, like the shakshuka was well seasoned and I enjoyed it. However, service was very slow, not sure if that was due to being understaffed or not. Some things just needed a little improvement, however, the food tasted healthy and fresh.
