The Tastiest Mediterranean in San Jose

Manakish Oven & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (67)

"ahhh...social media finds...Most of the time Social Media is not the best thing, but sometimes it can reveal some hidden gems. I caught a clip on IG of a local Palestinian spot in SJ...at least that's what the short vid claimed. I was intrigued...I'm not familiar with Palestinian food. I had to give it a try. Apparently this is their second location, there is another is in Walnut Creek. I'm familiar with the location of this venue. Former home to Sultan Bakery, which I did not find impressive...regardless of the high ratings. Parking is challenging in that area, luckily I snagged a spot on the street in front of the restaurant. There is a decent amount of seating inside and an outdoor seating area as well. Bright, Clean and inviting, they definitely redid the interior. #MediterraneanEats:~ MANAKISH FLATBREADS: - Lahn-bajin - 4/5I wasn't so sure what was classified as a Flatbread, looks like a pizza to me. But you'll understand when you bite into it. It's different, almost like a think crust NY pizza. A good amount of beef in it, heartier and heavier that it looks. ~ FATTEH BOWLS: - Chicken Shwarma (w/ Half and Half) - 4/5A good size bowl. We opted for the Half and Half option...best of both worlds; Salad & Rice. Generous portions! The Bowl had a good amount of food, Juicy flavorful Chicken with Creamy Humus...delish! ~ DESSERT: - Cheese Kanafeh - 4/5I was a bit bummed out they didn't have Ice Cream. This would have been amazing with some Ice Cream...not that it wasn't already brilliant! It would transcend to the next level. I originally wanted a Falafel bowl, but they were out of Falafels. Oh well, next time! Very satisfied with the food we ordered, now I'll just need to come back and try the rest of menu."

Olives Mediterranean Market And Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (250) • $$

"I love the labneh with zatar! The labneh is very thick and creamy. The toasty zatar on top goes with the tartness so well. It beats Oren's any day. Service is very friendly and kind. Turkish coffee is amazingly fragrant but super strong. If you are used to needing cream in your coffee, you might need a bottle of cream. Just pour the coffee directly in the cream bottle."

Pronto Wood Fired Pizzeria and Rotisserie

★★★★☆ 3.9 (416) • $$

"For 20 years, we've driven past this place. Always murmuring "we need to try this." Well, we finally did. We started with calamari which was crispy and tender. My husband had a pasta with marinara and chicken which he liked but thought the chicken a bit dry. My pasta with clams was light but a tad salty. Still good. The focaccia was light and amazing. We bought a medium cheese pizza for our picky teen who said midst first bite "damn, I should've gone with you." Then ate over half despite having dinner an hour before. Staff is warm and friendly. We ate in their tiny restaurant and it was clean and cozy. Definitely coming back."

Urfa Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (492) • $$

"Had a great time here for my friend's birthday dinner! Food was phenomenal. Highly recommend the chicken marsala-- filling but not too heavy! Ambience was great, not too loud inside and they gave us a free appetizer and dessert (yummy baklava). Friendly service. Would definitely come here again!"

Esnaf

★★★★★ 4.6 (128) • $$

"Food is great; service is exceptional. Being from Turkey, not hard to evaluate food quality which we found to be above expectations. Pide was nice and moist; citir manti really delicious. But the service is just exceptional."

Sofra Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (240) • $$

"This place is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The staff is nice and helpful and the service is decently fast too. The plate's portion size was a bit small and I wish it had more chicken kebab on there. Wraps were a decent size though! The lebneh and signature sofra bread was to die for! The ambiance is simple and befitting for a place that's an affordable midweek dinner or lunch place. Wouldn't mind trying a couple more items from their menu another time. Also, their black tea is pretty good and serves about 3-4 people at once. The place is next to a smart and final and has some street parking too. No reservations needed. Only giving it 4 stars as the portion size could have been a bit larger for the price we paid."

Grill Kebabs and Gyros

★★★★★ 4.6 (174) • $$

"Lamb beef gyro wrap - perfectly executed, nice solid pieces of meat. Lavash was nice and grilled. white sauce is served on the side.Rice pudding - It was so good! Nice and light, not too sweet, a subtle perfect touch of warm spice. It was the perfect consistency for me, not too thick and ricey, and not too thin either.The owner is so nice! And they keep the place really clean."

Cetrella

★★★★☆ 3.9 (278) • $$$

"This is based on my first visit to the *new* Cetrella since they changed locations, moving from the corner of Main and First to the State Street market.There is a new chef and overall I think the food is even better than before. The pate is more of a mousse but very good, as was the vichysoisse, and the burrata (with plenty of salad that came with it). The steaks were very good and the salmon made my mother-in-law (a tough customer) ecstatic. The basque cake (roughly a cheesecake) was very good as was the sorbet.So, net, on the food -- it's even better than before though I do miss a few of the old menu items (e.g., the mussels, beignets, and the simply-grilled mains).The service was and is remains wonderful. The owner gets to know his guests and takes care of them. The servers were and are amazing. The ambiance is different, it's a bit more compact, the tables are a bit closer together, the noise level is similar. So at the first order, I'd say different. At the second order, I'd say better -- i.e., it's lighter and a bit more modern and I can't wait for the Spring/Summer when they can use lovely patio area.Overall a great visit."

Garlic Mediterranean Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (883) • $$

"Turkish DelightFormerly located at the Bowers Plaza on El Camino, Garlic Mediterranean has been serving up Turkish food since 2016. They've been in these current digs for ±2 years and are one of the few restaurants serving up legit Turkish cuisine in the South Bay.The Good:*Friendly service*Fast-casual order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. *In the same strip mall as Stan's Donuts (IYKYK)*Large shared parking lot*Clean, modern décor and I'm a fan of their branding. *Pricing is well in-line with portion size*They actually have their meat on a vertical rotisserie (aka spit) which doesn't seem like much, but to me this is an important sign, to me at least. *Saw reviews mentioning the Ayran (aka "yoghurt drink") and I decided to give it a whirl. It's only three ingredients: yogurt, water, and salt, but the taste was actually quite refreshing.*Carissa enjoyed her Greek salad with added chicken Gyro meat, and actually had a hard time finishing it. Luckily I'm always around to clean her plate. *oink oink* :8)*I'd never seen or heard of an Iskender Kebab before, but after the lady at the counter informed me of what it was, I knew I had to try it. It's their combo lamb-beef dönner meat served over pita and topped with a tomato sauce and served with a heaping helping of yogurt. This dish was stupendous! The meat was juicy and flavorful and the tomato sauce was earthy and sweet, the perfect foil for the unctuos meat. But, I'll have to say, my favorite part was the yogurt that brought everything together into one harmonious bite. The Meh:*Standard two-top outdoor seating. Nothing really special but it gets the job done. The Ugly:*This is huge pet peeve of mine, but I really don't like when they put olives with pits in them in salads. #1 it makes no sense and #2 they're opening themselves up to a customer busting their teeth biting into one. Ask me how I know it's possible. 0_o Conclusion: Fantastic Turkish food at a great price point in a pleasant and relaxing environment."

Gourmet Gyros & Kebabs

★★★★★ 4.5 (208) • $$

"Tried this place recently again. Got the Falafel plate and sauteed eggplant . The food overall was decent, except that the Tzatziki sauce served as part of the plate the sauteed eggplant dish had a bitter / sour taste, perhpas because they were stale and on the verge of going bad. The falafels were fried fresh. The pita bread was warm as well. Seems like they don't make everything very fresh. Only 1 other customer besides me on a friday afternoon. Not sure I will try it again."

Meyhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (418) • $$

"Absolutely spot on! I chose Meyhouse for a team holiday lunch on a recommendation from another co-worker. What an exceptional experience. I truly mean EXCEPTIONAL! So good I fact that I didn't take any food pics because I was to busy devouring all the food! Loved the decor and the open concept. Huge bar that runs the length of the restaurant and I noticed a cute dining area upstairs in a loft like setting. My only issue was the beautiful high ceilings caused the noise level to be pretty high so if you visit in hopes of a quiet romantic setting, this probably isn't it. Service was flawless! I felt like we had 2 if not 3 weight staff taken care of us at all times. One of our guests got up to use the restroom and placed his napkin on the table. The server came right over, folded his napkin and placed it neatly on the back of his chair. That's great service. As for the food ... outstanding! Absolutely everything was not only tasty but presented beautifully. We ordered 4 different appetizers and each one was mouthwatering. Since I didn't order, I'm not sure what each dish I was called. My favorite though was a yogurt topped with eggplant and tomatoes served with this AMAZING bread. I could literally eat that and be happy. We all had different main dishes and desserts and every single one of us walked away saying how excellent everything was. Will I be back? Ten thousand percent!! 10 out of 10 for me!!"

Mama Mia Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (424) • $$

"I have only been here once, and it was for a party of around 80 people, in the outdoor patio. It was a catered buffet meal and open bar. I loved the outdoor patio. It is covered with grape vines above, and there is a beautiful large waterfall pond in the corner, and an electric fire that was on as it got dark out, as well as little lights strung all over the lattice ceiling. There were a few leaves dropping from above and we saw two possums climbing up the grape vines to the latticed rooftop, but overall, it was a beautiful setting, for an enjoyable evening. The patio area was large enough to accommodate the originally planned 130 people, so it is a great place to hold a party, a bridal or baby shower, or just a meal out with a friend. The service was excellent. We had pitchers of lemon water on our tables, which is likely not the norm with a regular meal, but it was refreshing on a hot evening. The staff were taking away used dishes and glasses, almost before you could be finished, but they were very efficient. The buffet meal was delicious. We had carved roast beef with a sour cream/horseradish sauce, Chicken Bernardo with broccoli, tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan, penne pasta with marinara sauce, tortellini (which wasn't brought out in time, so I didn't taste that), sides of mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and salad, which were all very tasty, and appetizers of a cheese & meat board, which were supposed to have candied walnuts, which I didn't see. Overall, especially for a buffet meal for so many people, I thought the food we had was delicious, filling, and very satisfying. The bar was just indoors from the patio. They only had one bartender for a while, which was not enough for so many people. Another came out about a half hour later. They had a wide variety of wines, and also served mixed cocktails. They made a nice Old Fashioned drink, which, by tasting someone elses, does matter what kind of bourbon is used, but was a throwback in time for me, and enjoyable. There was a glassed in room right off the patio with a very long table, for another group's gathering. Plus the rest of the interior of the restaurant; so they are capable of having multiple celebrations at once, seem to be efficient with their service, and, while a couple of small glitches, seemed an ideal place to me to hold a party, gathering, or just have a nice ambience for a meal out. A friend next to me said she frequently ate there for meals. For my one time of being there, which I wasn't paying for, it was a very enjoyable evening in a beautiful and peaceful environment, with very tasty food. I would recommend it for a gathering, and am very willing to go back to try it for a regular meal."

Nahita Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (56)

"Storefront sign: Cup N' ConeMismatch Punky Brewster wall colors.Tacky faux wisteria hanging plants.When the aesthetics takes a backseat to food, I'm here for it!If it weren't for Yelp, I would have never found Nahita Bakery...one of the few Turkish Bakeries in the Bay Area. They share a space with an ice cream shop. Open for takeout, delivery, and indoor dining only. We bought drinks at Zanatto's so we can dine outside. M E N USimit: Turkish Sesame Bagel ($3.49), Poğaça: Turkish Cheese Buns ($2.99), Açma: Turkish Bagel Bread ($3.99), Börek: Turkish Savory Pastry ($9.50-$18.99), Su Böreği: Water Börek ($8.99 - $59.99) Baklava ($1.99), Halka Tatlısı: Turkish Churros ($2.99), and Tulumba: Fried Sweet Dough (99 cents).They also serve Turkish Breakfast - Sucuklu Yumurta: Fried Eggs & Sausage ($12.99), Menemen: Scrambled Eggs & Tomatoes ($12.49), and more. Free self-serve Turkish tea. F O O D* Börek: Turkish Savory Pastry (1/2 portion - $9.50): https://tinyurl.com/v35h5vu8- Choice of cheese, spinach, potato, or beef (my choice)Fresh out of the oven, the börek was hot and crunchy with flaky phyllo layers and ground beef filling. It's quite rich and the ground beef didn't seem to be seasoned so I was yearning for a dip or hot sauce. Next time, I'll try the spinach or potato börek. S E R V I C EKind service. There was a 25 minute wait for the freshly baked börek. A M B I A N C EBright and colorful with about 8-10 tables. P A R K I N GPlentiful parking in the plaza. Overall, Nahita Bakery seems to be an under the radar Turkish Bakery that's popular through word of mouth. Def worth a visit if you're in the area!"

Amoura Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (470) • $$

"I love Amoura! I drove from Alameda for the Valentine's Day special and everything was amazing as usual. The service, the food, the mood and the music were all excellent. I especially like the pita they serve along with the flatbreads. The wine and drink selection has also never failed."

RocknWraps & Kabobs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (342) • $

"This is one of the cool hookah parts that you can hang out have some good food. Nice drinks on the weekend too. Usually, Redwood City and the surrounding city gets overcrowded during the weekends. You won't have time to wait in the lines. Find a good spot to sit down, but this place is in the middle of the city heart of the Redwood cities downtown and this is an Amazing Pl., Ali who is the owner of this place is a very generous and a nice man who takes care of the customers a lot and suggest hook us and good flavors and there he has a good way of greeting people too. I love their food and service and I've been visiting this place from continuous to weekends and I wish to go again and again thank you."

Agape Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (560) • $$

"I wish I was closer to Agape Grill as I love their gyro plate. The only thing I didn't realize was now much garlic was in this plate and we all know....I'm garlic sensitive. But screw it! I popped a Pepsid and just suffered the consequences. And it was still delicious.Service is the same great service and we've never actually eaten in and always taken to-go.They have a tiny parking lot but it's okay we've never had issues finding parking."

Foreign Cinema

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$

"Ambiance: it's a popular place for bunch in the mission area, and it's a spacious venue for events too, the manning dining hall has the full bar in the end, and a small loft upstairs near the entrance, then there's a half covered patio in between the main hall and the third major dining area more like a show room with many arts on the wallService: very friendly and efficient, accommodated requests fairly fast Food & Drink: plenty choices on their menu with seafood, small bites, and main courses Oysters - **** very fresh, recommend White Prawn Cocktail - **** tasty shrimp, recommend Warm Mediterranean mixed olives - *** average taste Santa Barbara smoked salmon - **** served with confit leeks, capers, red onion, buttered levain, dill, balanced flavors, recommend Curry Madras sesame fried chicken - **** served with hummus, Moroccan spiced carrots and cauliflower, spiced honey, kishmish, unique taste, crunchy outside and tender inside, recommend Standard Deviant Brewing - *** Tree People IPA Trumer Pilsner - *** light beer Best Day Brewing - *** Hazy IPAPrice: moderate portions and reasonable prices, expect $50+ per person"

Oren's Hummus

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"We had takeout from Oren's for a recent meeting, and wow--everything was delicious. The portions? Huge. Like, "this could feed a small village" huge.I tried the hummus with Moroccan beef, and it was insanely flavorful. Every bite was perfection. I probably ate way more than I should have, but honestly, how do you not when it's that good? Walking away wasn't an option. I was wishing I'd ordered extra pita, but simultaneously glad I didn't... because then I never would have stopped!If you love hummus, this place is a must. Just be prepared to accidentally eat an entire meal's worth before you even realize what's happening."

Cobani Gyro & Kebab

★★★★☆ 4.2 (880) • $$

"I tried the lamb plate and it was incredible! Highly recommend--best Mediterranean food I've had!"

ShaQ

★★★★☆ 4.3 (377) • $$

"ShaQ is a fusion restaurant! Mix between Turkish and Indian food. I've never had that combination before but I must admit it was very good. They had a variety of options on the menu ranging from wraps to platters, all at a very reasonable price.I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and it came with rice, chicken shawarma, hummus, greek salad, and a side of pita bread. For $14, this was much more food than I was expecting. Everything was very flavorful and went together very nicely. I could tell the pita was also freshly made. It was warm and soft. Definitely recommend if you're in the Santa Clara area!"

Mazra

★★★★★ 4.7 • $$

"Fall 2022 - Narrowed down 6 places for my significant other's parents to choose; treated them out for their birthdays. They've never been and the food and service was great. Very lively and spacious place - very busy - somewhat bustling. And little did I know, that this place is rated outside of yelp with many 'recognitions/awards'. After that night - said parentals introduced this establishment to their other relatives who also really like the food - however one couple already knew the owners eons ago. And they were all going without us for months. But, we had since all gone together for someone else's birthday at some point. There is not a dish I don't like here. Highly recommend everything."

Mediterranean Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (545) • $$

"Excellent food. Fresh and large in size. The taste was great. I went with friends and between us we had salmon, gyros and Adana kebab. Every dish was great and reasonably priced. The only reason this is a 4 star is because one item, which was a salad had ingredients missing. It was not as described in the menu. When asked, we were told they did not have all the ingredients available. That's fine but it's best to be upfront about something like that. We'd be happy to order something else!Customer service was great. Very polite and willing to help. They have a lovely patio outside too. Nicely decorated place for a casual dinner"

El Greco Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (445) • $$

"I ordered a large takeout order for a picnic - several dips and skewers. Note that there is a pretty decent wait time on the order (but that means it's all fresh). In fact, there was one item they felt was past its peak and they offered to remake it (would have taken another 20 minutes) but since I didn't have the time, I just ordered something else. The wait staff was so kind in providing me a snack of pita and yogurt dip while I waited. Everything was very delicious, but the falafel were not my favorite. Highly recommend the dips and pita. The chicken and beef skewers were enjoyed by the others at the picnic but I didn't try them (since I'm vegetarian)."

Euro Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (448) • $$

"Came here for a team lunch and I was a little worried because I am gluten free and have a co-worker who is a vegetarianWhen it was time to order I asked the staff what I could eat and they offered the Cevapi, no bread and salad instead - it was wonderful!! the sausage were yummy, the salad was fresh and lightly dressed, the sausage was super tasty with the sausages.My co-worker was able to order the Burek - spinach and cheese - and said it was really tasty, light and flakeyDefinitely swing by and give this place a try!"

Xenia Mediterranean Kitchen - San Jose

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

"I had a chance to try Xenia after seeing it on Uber Eats and got to try their Chicken Shawarma bowl. This is located in a ghost kitchen so there are different types of food you can order here on a touch screen and then someone puts it in a cubby where you go pick it up. The ambiance here is very minimal and no chairs or tables to eat - hence expect to eat pickup only.Overall the bowl was pretty good - it came with sweet potatoes, broccoli, corn salad and lots of other goodies. The chicken was well seasoned and went well with the sauce and the red pepper hummus which was really yum. Overall, good food and good portion!"

Sultana Mediterranean

★★★★☆ 4.1 (701) • $$

"Genuine and really good. A must go. Went there with a customer. Ordered the appetizer plate. Every one of the items was excellent. The chicken kabobs were awesome. Try it"

Cafe Istanbul

★★★★☆ 4.4 (32) • $$

"Great service, clean and friendly. The Falafel wrap was exquisite!!! Loved every bite of my wrap, it was fresh and flavorful. We also had the chicken and lamb plate and this was also done very well. Definitely recommend Cafe Istanbul."

Sumac Mediterranean Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (553) • $$

"We had a quick lunch at the Sumac after work, food was very well seasoned and tasted great. Portion sizes were generous. The menu is Middle East inspired which caters to vegetarians and meat eaters. Service is quick and super friendly. Restaurant was clean. All the food items are priced decently. Ambiance is nothing to write home about, this a restaurant best for take outs and application based food deliveries. Overall I am happy with my experience at Sumac."

Holyland Restaurant & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.4 (495) • $$

"The Mansaf and the Mandi are harder to find dishes in the bay area even for middle eastern restaurants. They have all the kebabs n stuff as well, but I recommend checking out the other dishes first since you can get kebabs/wraps anywhere.Overall, generally enjoyed my food and will probably try some of their other items next time"

Siena Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (694) • $$

"Came here 3/20/2024 for dinner. We decided to sit outside since it wasn't too cold and there was fire so it was cozy. The owner was extremely nice and welcoming. I believe he went to all the tables to talk to the customers, overall a friendly guy. Apparently, he's never been sick and works in the restaurant almost every day. Hey, I mean great staying healthy and strong!! The other workers were also very nice and provided excellent service. I ordered the Dijon Crusted Salmon ($34)The salmon was not dry and it was lightly covered in sweet Dijon Mustered. I like it a lot but I realize I like my salmon with lemon more. The veggies and mashed potatoes were perfect, wouldn't change a thing. French Vanilla Bean Gelato Single ($5) The owner told me it was going to be the best vanilla bean gelato I've ever had and hey it was delicious. I wished I had more, but I was too full from the salmon dinner. Overall, great dining experience, and the outdoor seating was a change of setting. Time to plan my next visit!"

Gola

★★★★★ 4.7 (124)

"I came here with a group of friends last night. It was a wonderful experience to try Tunisian food for the first time. It was delicious! In addition to making us feel incredibly special, the owner and his staff were incredibly kind and not to mention the dessert was amazing! Without a doubt, I would suggest this location!***cocktails were a plus!"

Mama Mia's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (297) • $$

"my sister and i came here one afternoon before going to the gilroy outlets. it was not busy and we were able to be seated shortly after entering. they handed us a menu, gave us water, and then came back to let us order. we ordered two different pastas (pictured) and a parm garlic bread appetizer (not pictured). all of it was really good. we really liked the bread. my sister's fettuccine had a very rich cheese flavor which we liked. my pasta was also really good and it was a vegetarian option (i didn't add chicken or anything). i also had leftovers which i took home and let my friend try, she also really enjoyed it! the inside is nice and they have lots of tables. overall, nice restaurant in the gilroy area."

Mediterranean Grill House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (698) • $$

"I really love this place. I've been coming here for years, and I actually haven't tried any other Mediterranean restaurants because I don't want to be disappointed when I know Mediterranean Grill House is excellent! I always get the chicken schwarma plate with the cucumber salad and hummus. I love all of it, and really love mixing the hummus with the chicken and rice. It comes with a yogurt dressing that is fabulous.This is a family-owned business and they've lost a lot of customers since work-from-home policies were instituted and the local businesses moved away from Mountain View. I would love to see Mediterranean Grill House thrive because the owner and his family are great people who simply love to share authentic mediterranean food with the people of Mountain View. They are kind, courteous, and thoughtful every time I come in and I've yet to be disappointed by any part of my experience there.I do know they cater a lot and they're very good at it! They also host meetups and they have a good space for it, so if you're looking for a place for a meet-up, consider this!"

Kali Greek Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (463) • $$

"I'm obsessed with Kali Greek! I constantly crave their rice plates because the flavors of their rice, chicken, beef, and lamb are so deliciously and made with high quality ingredients. The rice alone is something I could never get tired of. Fluffy, buttery rice with roasted orzo and chickpeas expels this amazing aroma. This is the tastiest rice I've ever had. This with the juiciest seasoned chicken skewer and creamy dill sauce creates the perfect bite. I also love the beef kebab, it's seasoned perfectly with a blend of savory spices. Aside from their entrees, they also have incredible desserts. The frozen Greek yogurt on the menu caught my eye before anything else and I wanted to try all of their different toppings! The nice thing is that you can customize it to your liking! I tried the honey with candied walnuts one and added cherries. If you like tart froyo, this is incredible. Other desserts are the baklava, which is flaky yet chewy, and loukoumades, which are a must try! These mini donuts are covered in a honey syrup and crumbled walnut topping. Kali Greek is on California Ave with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There are two contactless ordering kiosks, grab a table number, find a table, and the food will arrive at your table. The staff and owners are super friendly and welcoming."

LaLe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (697) • $$

"10am Saturday. Determined to see Flower Piano in Golden Gate Park, I skipped breakfast in order to find a parking space near the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. Taking a day off from my perfect Avocado Toast quest I found LaLe, an easy walk. .Nice! They have a parklet, should it ever get warm enough. Inside, comforting dim lights, warm wood arched plank ceiling, like 1/2 a fancy giant wine barrel. Clever solution for a too high ceiling I'm guessing. Definitely a classy casual vibe, country-ish rock music, you can still have conversation. This is no laptop village, people are talking to each other! Wallpaper is enlarged French newspapers with giant tulips incorporated.Ordered a la carte 2 fried eggs, 4 strips bacon, muffin. Bummer the eggs not medium well as ordered, rather runny, more than made up for it with the homemade jam & muffin.By 10:30 folks were streaming in. MUNI N Judah on the corner.Destination worthy.Support Local!"
