Rebecca GobersteinMarch 18, 2012French toast. Is. Awesome. It's some cinnamony creamy bread glazed in caramel. Pretty much everything else on the menu is just as drool-inducing, but I really can't get over the French toast.
JennyMay 22, 2013I had a huge group there (20+) for a birthday and called to change the reservation several times, and they were incredibly nice and accommodating. Also, the desserts are lovely, as is the burger
Corey PeblerApril 6, 2013Ask to be seated upstairs. The roof to seating area has a great atmosphere and is covered when the sunset fog rolls in.
Raj S.October 18, 2014Great local neighborhood spot for brunch on Saturday. Tons of people so get there earlier. The chicken apple sausage is a great side; unfortunately the mimosas are quite watered down.
Danielle FOctober 18, 2014Great little spot with outdoor seating. VERY dog friendly. They will even bring a bowl out for your pup! Get the baked goat cheese toast as a starter. Delicious!
Hazel DemonteverdeMay 29, 2013The only way 2 save room 4 dessert here is to eat dessert 1st. I order a blushing orange dream & the chocolate cream pie first ALWAYS! Everything else is tertiary. Pork chilequiles & hash are a must!
Sit at the bar and get the ginger cake and pumpkin ice cream, the taste of Fall all year round 🍂
Easy, friendly accessible menu in a cozy cabin-like spot. Beer & wine license only, but always solid options.
Ashley LSeptember 17, 2013Everything we had was excellent. Wish we'd saved room for dessert, they looked amazing! I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town
Margarita DiazJuly 6, 2011yummy organic comfort food. love the warm goat cheese cherry tomato appetizer with walnut bread. pastas are fantastic, as is the burger. really cant go wrong with this place
John NguyenJune 19, 2012Sit at the counter. Order a fresh squeezed OJ. Order the special quinoa with mushrooms, spinach, poached eggs with wheat toast and strawberry jam. Simply delicious!
Ryan EFebruary 11, 2012Now matter how far I venture into the menu here, I always go back to the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Brought our own wine, pleasant surprise, no corkage fee!. Be sure to eat upstairs.
Kyle MinorNovember 20, 2014In a town lousy with great brunch spots, Chow is stills contender. Love their egg sandwiches, and DO NOT MISS the pies!
I love that I can get the flourless chocolate cake delivered! I thought it didn't come with ice cream but it did! Happy dance!
HenrymartinezllcFebruary 16, 2011try the fried egg sandwich it has rosemary in the bread (uber yum) and the minestrone soup has sourdough chunks in it, mmm. add the twist of fate ale (on tap) and you're golden.
Make sure to sit upstairs on a sunny day and near a fire on a cloudy one. There's a secret fireplace upstairs in the far back! Get it if you can.
The half chicken is outstanding. Comes with mashed sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and a cranberry relish.
Jennifer WongNovember 22, 2011Raspberry lemonade, fish special, fusilli pasta, lasagna, smiling noodles, sole sandwich, ginger cake with pumpkin ice cream. Take your pick. :)
Bonnie BurtonSeptember 16, 2013You haven't lived til you try their Ginger Cake with Pumpkin Ice Cream! Plus fun variety of pizzas!
Fran SuJune 6, 2016Great organic selections. Prawn salad was excellent. Enjoyed the smiley pasta too.
Melissa AndersonJuly 27, 2015Eggs Benedict was yummy but what this place needs is a liquor license. Wished I could have had a Bloody Mary alongside it.
Get something that's filling! The prices are on the higher side but Its very tasty. I like their tuna melt.
Shawna MarieSeptember 10, 2017A little slow but their breakfast is pretty good. Huge pancakes but the eggs are just ok. Lots of options on the menu! Fireplace inside and heated outdoor seating. 2 floors
Brendan ChapmanOctober 3, 2013Great food, try any of the seasonal foods, mussels were awesome, and the artichoke as well
Colin van HoekSeptember 10, 2014The home made lemonade is great for a warm day. The icecream is also very nice!
Lucas CoutinhoNovember 4, 2012Strongly recommend the pot roast. Delicious and a big portion! I opted for the pork chops and got extremely disappointed.
French toast with mascarpone is delicious. Great place for kids: spacious !
Claudia A.January 13, 2012kid-friendly and tasty. it's best to go for an early dinner. on a nice warm day, upstairs seating is sublime.
GestinaOctober 26, 2014The food was delicious, however the service was pretty slow. It wasn't that busy either. Not sure what the problem was. I would definitely give this place another try though. Food sold me.
Ana CarolinaApril 17, 2014Great service and excellent food. I ordered the Thai noodles and it was delicious
They sometimes have gluten free bread. It's not on the menu, so you just have to ask.
AnnMay 20, 2014Ordered organic garden noodles and burger... both were bland and fries taste like BK. Friendly staff and good portion for the med size noodles though. May be ok for drinks and dessert.
Kris Vera-PhillipsDecember 17, 2011Try the Steamed Mussels - #kvpinmybelly : That buttery wine sauce is so good! I asked for more bread to sop it up. #seafood
Marko IgnacioDecember 22, 2010Try the huevos rancheros. Good portion for a light breakfast and the blueberry pancakes for a sweet treat. They also have free wi-fi.
Might wanna check the health rating and history of violations. I don't eat there any more...YIKES!
Ginger cake with pumpkin ice cream is on the Chronicle's top 100 and 7x7's Big Sweet lists. Order one and submit your sighting on foodspotting.com!
