We came in on our last morning in San Francisco and were very pleased with both the food and the service. We have two (2) kids under the age of 5 and out service was very attentive to them both and never expressed any frustration, despite the noise level or the mess they were making. Out meals came out hot and quick and we were able to enjoy our breakfast. We enjoyed the décor and the retro vibe inside. The parking was very limited, but we has no issue around 7:00AM. Overall, we would dine in again.

It looks nice inside, but the service was terrible. Part of our order never arrived until we asked, and we also had to request coffee refills
