    I had a dinner reservation for 5pm. My waitress, Emma, was great. I was at The Presley with a friend and we took quite a while to look at the main menu between drinks, appetizers, and catching up. But Emma was so fun about it and laughed with us, not making us feel like a nuisance. When I arrived, I was greeted nicely. My host cracked jokes as he brought me to my table. It was outside and in the sun so he offered to move an umbrella over if I wanted shade. He also mentioned that if it gets too chilly later, he could turn on a heater for us. The food was great, the customer service was excellent, and I would love to go back to try their brunch menu.

    All five stars... except that it's right on the airport flight path so had noise that you couldn't talk above. Not their fault, so still five stars across the board.

    The location in Liberty Station is great and the vibe is perfect California casual, but the service is slightly below average and the food was the same. Two of us ordered coffee for brunch that was served lukewarm and never topped off. One guest ordered iced tea and had to ask for sweetener each time he asked for and received a refill. All of the food was average with some exceptions, the fruit served with the avocado toast was very fresh and delicious and the breakfast sando was A+. We knew that there would be some noise from the airport and weren't too bothered by it, but it could be very bothersome if you aren't prepared. Overall it's just OK for the money.

    Great ambiance and service. Food was a little late, but it was Mother's Day brunch, that comes with the territory, and they kept us up to date. Food was great, wife and kids were happy. We'll be back for sure!

    Server took my food away when I wasn’t finished. Slow service and not attentive when needed. Went downhill. I have been going here since it was Fireside. Was told the meal I normally order wasn’t able to be done by the new executive chef. Which items were still on the menu. No option for an up charge

    I made a reservation for outside table for a birthday brunch celebration. We were seated near the collection of dishes so it was very noisy. Situated in Liberty Station, we expected the noise from the airplanes, however the collection of dishes made it extra noisy. And waitress never mentioned about it being a birthday celebration.

    Awesome and fair price brunch menu! Ambience amazing sat on the patio. Planes overhead make the conversations stop for just a couple seconds. Great service. I can’t remember our servers name but he was friendly and attentive and treated us very well. I came back because I spent a birthday brunch here previously and had awesome service and a great time. Will definitely return.

    Had lunch and our book club discussion and everyone loved their meal. Started out with the Parker House rolls - delicious! We ate outside and our server moved heaters around our table so we would be comfortable. He also provided excellent service! Yes, there is noise from the planes landing, but we would just stop our conversation until it was quiet again.

    The ambiance of the restaurant was great. Loved the various seating options outside. Service was great. Not impressed with the food. Ordered the cauliflower elote, which the server said was great. It came out and there wasn’t much to make it “elote”. It was half charred and just plain. When I asked for more lime crema I was charged $.50 for it! Overall it was not worth $17.50 for a plate of plain cauliflower.
