Brunch for Champions re-De-Fined.
Focus on the vegetables, tongue and seafood but do Finish with the PANCAKES.
Its pricy but worth it, please ignore the non-sense about their politics and Police. They did apologize, forgiveness is warranted
Food is terrific, service was excellent, it’s pricey but worth it. We will be back. So far we had the Tahini Kale, the sunchokes and the Chicken. Flavors were unique, the food was quite light snd ingredients were elevated to justify the price. I’m not ignoring the controversy with refusing service to police force but owners have apologized
2nd visit:
The overpriced Brunch scene is attractive because of the demand side. I personally think this place has a unique and well worth package. I’d advise you to order many smaller plates and ask staff for recommendations. Today I had two terrific Salads, an amazing Onion dish, Shrimp Toast and the winner was the Tongue preparation.
4/24/22: Third visit, this is clearly a winner. The shrimp toastie is so decadent, but my favorite is still the scallion dish.
Few more visits later and I still find new gems in the menu, like Curry version of the scallions or the Mackerel which was unbelievable.
Tongue, Tahini dressed Salad and Pancakes are a must order

Incredible experience and food! Everything from the atmosphere, to the quality and creative food, to the people, everything was above and beyond.
Atmosphere was super fun, nice, casual and just a relaxing and clean place to have a meal.
Food was unbelievable. Super creative dishes with wonderful flavors. We did the brunch tasting menu and everyone was very happy. Amazing!
People couldn't have been better. Very attentive, laid back, engaging, took care of every need and made sure each person was happy.
Perfect combo for a wonderful brunch!! Will be back many times! Couldn't ask for anything better.

Loved the design, but the acoustic was really bad (this is why I asked for T.A).
The sweet potato & avo toast was fresh and tasty.

I loved it, and ended up going here 3 times.. Honey cocktail is amazing and so are the pancakes. Steak was very unusual, I like it too. Beetroot soup was delicious.. I think I have tried most of the things from the menu by now, everything was good or delicious. Service was amazing. Only downside, no air con and warm inside. It’s not cheap, but was worth it for me.

This place is expensive. It's not your average brunch joint. But we really enjoyed the food. We did the Chef's adventure menu and it was the first brunch tasting experience I have ever had. All the food was good and it was very different, not your average breakfast stuff for sure. The standout for me was the duck. But that said, it is not cheap, but it's great for an experience. The service was excellent and I found everyone to be very friendly.
I'm just gonna guess this place got review bombed for something or another. Poor snowflakes can't handle different opinions.

Amazing food, service and ambience - great take on some classic food, call it modern fusion! Their cocktails are delish - and fresh! Certainly worth the time to find a reservation!!!!

Excellent food with fresh ingredients and combination of flavors. The service was excellent - don't recall the name of the lady serving us.

This was a hard review for me. I found this place on tik tok and had such a high hoping that it would be good because all the videos looked so nice. The place looked so aesthetic. And when we got there, it 100% was. I loved the vibes of the place. The service was CRAZY AWESOME. Like hands down one of the best service ever. So nice and welcoming. However, the food was - meh. Wasn’t that good, and the portions were so small and not worth the price. I wouldn’t go back again as much as I would want too

Wow. Fine dining comes to North Beach in an appealing and unpretentious guise. I was self conscious about ordering avocado toast but the result was anything but cliche. In fact, there was something noteworthy about everything we ordered.

Neat to see something so novel executed so well. It’s a cozy corner restaurant just off Washington Square Park, with an interior that pops with color and feels like a modern take on an old-school diner. The tasting menu was delicious, but our favorites were the à la carte avocado “toast”, buttermilk pancakes, and “grade school breakfast” (french toast sticks with maple syrup)…such a joy to have for dinner.
