This is a great restaurant for breakfast and probably lunch too though all we had was breakfast. The building is an old historic one and they have done a wonderful job in making it a nice clean restaurant. The menu choices are incredible. The food quality and the freshness of the ingredients shows through. We have gone through Salinas twice now and have both times have stopped there for breakfast and have not been disappointed. Service was fast and friendly and although it can be busy we hit a time when it was few people. If you're in the area you should definitely go. It's well worth the trip

Found this gem of a restaurant on google. Located in old town Salinas, it’s friendly & inviting atmosphere. I ordered the eggs with ham steak & breakfast potatoes. DELISH! The orange juice was fresh & the coffee was freshly brewed. Isabel & the rest of staff was friendly & attentive. I would recommend anyone to have breakfast here

We arrived shortly after opening and seated right away, waited on promptly. Some of the other patrons spoke quite loudly so it was difficult to hear each other at our small table. No fault of the restaurant, just for other customers... know how loud you speak. Large portions of food and tasty. I ordered an omelet and was full of veggies. The potatoes did not taste good, way too oily. He ordered 2 eggs and meat. He too did not like the potatoes. Which was fine, luckily portions were so good we were still quite full without eating the potatoes. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely
