We went for a late lunch on a Wednesday and were greeted at the door. Apparently the lunch rush was over and there were plenty of tables. We chose one by the open kitchen and the rich smell made us really hungry.
After the staff...recommended their favorite dishes, we ordered the chicken fajita, the Joe and the banana french toast to share family-style. The chicken was moist and tasty, the fries were perfectly done. The Joe was savory without being greasy, the hash brown was crispy and the pancakes fluffy. The banana french toast was my personal favorite. Creamy, cinnamony, soft and sweet, it was the best I've had in the Bay Area.
During our meal, the owner and the cook came over to chat. They were planning to add mole (the Mexican sauce) to their menu, thanks to customer requests.
Even though we were super hungry, we could not finish the food. What we brought home was enough for dinner for one. We liked their concept of an American menu with international influences, and we liked the unpretentious food. We will certainly be back!More
