A culinary treasure known for their award-winning breakfast. The Northwest-influenced menu features signature dishes such as, Sante Fe Eggs Benedict (poached eggs over peppered ham and fresh baguette with chipolte-cilantro hollandaise). Best Blueberry Pancakes from the griddle complete this yuppie OC eatery. $$ more

Went there for Easter brunch 4/17/06 and it was fantastic. Make sure you have a reservation or you'll be waiting. Try to sit on the patio if it's nice. My friends had a crab asparagus omelet, they also had great hazelnut and blueberry pancakes. The service was outstanding. It's in a hole in the wall mini mall but is a... more
