Hard to say.. The ambience and energy really need a makeover. Everytime I've had brunch there and free mimosa refills, or bloodys, the eggs Benedict or huevos rancheros or even the chilaquiles are quite good... A totally separate topic will be about chilaquiles in this city.. They are not like the ones mama use to make!
Dinner selection also quite broad in scope, with lobster mac n' cheese, baked brie, roasted beet salad and yellowtail specials.. The food options are clealry inspired from elsewhere. however the overall atmosphere needs a change.
On this night, a number of specials were available, Incluing butternut squash soup and seared peppered tuna:
Served almost rare and on top of grilled and slightly crispified vegetables with some crunchy toppings, the tuna was good.
A desire for some vinegry chili lettuce wraps selected the Thai lettuce cups (odd cravings):
The lush greens were great however the prepartion of the chicken was not expected . It was minced chicken sauted in a tomatoe garlic sauce, which went well with the sweet tangy side sauce and crisp lettuce butterball cups, however for whatever reason, was looking for a shredded fideo presentation. And, as a special treat, they offer some new Zealand white wine! Refreshingly crispy Peary and a bit grapefruity white new Zealand Marlborough region wine does make the days issues melt away ;)
Ironically enough, happened to be sitting next to one of the owners and learned a few upcoming things. For one, there was talk about a makeover! Can't wait. Second, the chef is releasing a cook book called Terra bites in the fall. Let's just say we're looking Forward to it.
