Very delicious brunch! Love the outdoor seating when it's warmer out! But they do have heat lamps to warm you up if it's too cold. Been here a couple of times now and have not been disappointed.

I come here pretty often because it's literally down the street. The food is pretty good but I wouldn't say it's anything more than just that. Service is great and the staff is friendly and you can tell that they work hard. Came here once for bottomless mimosas on a nice day and had the patio seating. Instead of waiting for people to finish their mimosas before giving out more, the waiter comes every five or so minutes with a fresh pitcher and tops everyone off! Definitely worth it! My only complaint is that sometimes the food takes a little long to arrive. I've ordered garbage bread there twice, the first time it came WAY AFTER everyone got their food so barely anyone ate any and the second time it never showed up and the waiter had to apologize and remove it from our bill.

Great staff. Fun sunny patio! Great beers! The food ranges from good to OK depending on the dish. The overall experience makes this a staple. Be prepared for a wait if you aren't in line 10min prior to opening.

Good good. Great deck patio overlooking Lake Merritt. Large variety of beers and friendly service.

Great spot by the lake. Can get really busy on weekends with the brunch. The bottom less mimosa can be dagerous. Top notch pickle plate and a diverse menu that changes. Many local beers in bottle and on tap.
