Food scene
You can’t go wrong here. Great food and laid back cozy vibe. Awesome brunch and also kid friendly. Bonus; huge sidewalk patio when it’s nice out. I love their bruschetta, soprano pizza (spicy), wrightwood salad, rigatoni, and the cookie skillet... so basically everything. Oh, their Bloody Mary at brunch is perfect.
