What a satisfying meal for Sunday brunch. The portion is unbelievable. The ingredients and selections are definitely surprisingly tasty. If feeling adventurous, try their very tender Lengua Omelette!

I adore old vine cafe. It's one of my favorite places to go for breakfast food. I haven't tried their dinner menu so can't talk about that. But I always get their blueberry French toast❤️😍👌🏼

Very unique options. Goat, tongue, and comfort foods like biscuits and gravy. I love the fire scent in the air and woodsy feel. The open face is great. Spicy but wonderful favors. The goat is unique.

This tiny eatery impresses with an affordable small-plates menu, breakfast-through-dinner hours and a wine list that belies its claustrophobic dining room. Read more

The servers were really awkward with us. We had a reservation but they still treated us like we had no idea what we were doing. The food was good but we all got sick a couple hours later :(
