My wife and I originally passed on Stoney's from a quick call, asking if I needed a reservation. They said, "no, its more first come first serve cafeteria style, but we bring the food to you.". Well, that threw us for a loop, but we decided to go the next night anyway.
Good gracious, are we glad we did. We took my parents and my two daughters, 3 and 5. Everyone found something on the menu and were extremely comfortable in the environment the whole meal. After coming in around 6:45 pm on a Saturday night, it looked packed and I thought we'd have to wait at least 15 minutes. We waited 3 for a table. Tables moved quickly, but I never had the feeling or pressure from the super friendly servers to eat quickly. We enjoyed our meal and by the time we left, we had all targeted out next choices on the menu. Except for my 3 year old...she will eat what I tell her to eat! :)
Wife had the goat cheese salad- great, I had the ny steak sandwich- awesome. -

I come here in the weekends from time to time for brunch. Never had a complaint about the food because it is quite spectacular. I actually found this place through Yelp back when I was just starting to use Yelp so it's got some sentimental hold on me.
I usually get the breakfast panini and the margarita pizza. So good. And the coffee is really good. Just be warned, the portion size is huge so you definitely won't go hungry. Yeah I get two dishes but I share because I love the pizza there.
A couple of tips: it is a order first and take a number. You can't save seats before ordering and you should not seat yourself. Find a wait staff to seat you because there's a seating system that works to get everyone seated by order number. The food will be brought out to you by the wait staff.
Only complaint is it's getting too crowded and will have to wait a bit for seating. This is another eat and go place. Not a place to chit chat people! Remember, you were in the same position waiting for seating not long before. Don't be mean. Eat your food and go so others can be seated. -

Where is the bread as the name suggested?! Maybe I came at the wrong time? I came with my bff for Sunday brunch and was caught in a frenzy of hungry people. Since this restaurant was an order-and-take-a-number type style, the line moved fairly quickly. Finding a seat could be a hassle since the seats are limited, but we were fortunate enough to swipe one right away.
The lemon tart dessert was wonderful! It makes you pucker up in a wonderful lemon pain sort of way. I'm sure I can live off of them for weeks on end. We also tried two orders of their crepes: the Chicken & Asparagus Crepe and the Crepe Bretton. I liked the Chicken & Asparagus Crepe better since there was more of a dipping sauce vs. the Bretton. Overall, this place was tasty, but not blow-my-mind type of good.
I will definitely be back in search of that bread! -

Found myself in Oakville for an appointment and looking for food afterwards. Decided to check out Stoney's based the fear of having to eat at Kelsey's and all the positive Yelp reviews.
We arrived later in the evening so the metered parking beside the restaurant is free after 6pm.
We ordered the Slow Roasted Lamb ($10.50) and Nove ($9.00) sandwiches along with Greek ($6.00) and Caesar ($4.00) side salads.
I did try a bite of the lamb sandwich even though I'm not really partial to lamb. I was completely caught off guard after a small taste, I honey badgered the remaining half of the lamb sandwich. I always describe lamb as too gamey and uriney for my tastes. But here I was savouring every bite!
The Nove sandwich was good...very thick with roasted chicken, bacon and provolone, although paled in comparison to the lamb. Salads were good and a hearty size, definitely enough to share one between two
Stoney's is for sandwich lovers...I mean people who really, really, REALLY love sandwiches. I liken it to an upscale version of Panera. Sandwich lovers will be in heaven here. -

Whoa! Why haven't I reviewed this place yet? It's no secret that I'm an Oakvillian (Oakvillain?) and I'm so glad my friend (Kunal P.) introduced me to this place. I have not had a less-than-5-star meal here yet.
I wasn't sure how I felt about the order-at-the-counter-and-take-it-to-a-seat-yoursel f-zone method, but it works very well. There is very limited seating here. Don't try to save seats prior to ordering your food. I made that mistake once and had to return to GO (Do not collect $200). Once you've ordered, the awesome staff will help you find a table. Magically, another party will be finishing up just when you want to sit down. It's a well-oiled machine.
So, the food. THE BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD: the slow-roasted lamb sandwich. Whenever I introduce people to this place, I highly recommend the lamb sammy. It's the best thing I've ever had (I think I said that already). I often crave it and sometimes wish it wasn't so easily accessible for me. I should really only eat half of the sandwich (it's HUGE) but I don't have any self-control and always eat the entire thing. It's deliciousness in delicious bread, super juicy (kinda messy) and made fresh.
I've had a few of their other sandwiches (pulled pork, chicken and brie) that were also fantastic. I've also had their pizza (tried a few of them with Tony F and his crew). I've also had their mussels. I've liked every single thing I've had here. All portions are huge. Everything is fresh. It's perfection.
Being a order-at-the-counter place, you might think it would be difficult to comment on the service side. You would be wrong. I have yet to learn any of their names yet (I'm afraid of being labelled a stalker), but everyone is very friendly, very efficient, very knowledgeable, very helpful. The eating area is kept very clean. A couple of waitstaff are always around to set the tables, help you pack up the portion of your meal you couldn't finish and to take your dishes away when you're done. They will also help you find seats when it's really busy.
There's a help-yourself water station by the espresso bar which includes real glasses (not plastic), ice galore and fresh cut lemons! Speaking of espresso bar, great coffee and lattes! But don't forget to check out their fridge selection. They have lots of cool options there. (Get it? Cool?)
I have yet to try their smoothies, their desserts (a few Dufflet options included here) or their brunch. Word on the street is their brunch is phenomenal. I'll make it over there one of these days.
Tip: Parking is either metered on the street (Kerr) or there's a handful of spots right outside. Check the times before you pay, but bring coinage for the meters. They haven't joined the rest of the world in using credit card machines. Ditto the bigger lots behind the place. Coins only!
I could write (and dream) about Stoney's forever. When will Yelp! stop me? (I heard rumours about a character limit.)
Also good to know: I once called ahead for a pick-up order. Two lamb sammies to go. I felt like a rockstar having my food ready for me (some other suckers had to wait for theirs) and someone it was still HOT an hour later when delivered to Toronto. That's magic.
Also: I once showed up starving right when they were closing. I was that annoying customer who asked them to make me something anyway. They were extremely nice about it. That reminds me, the burger is also fantastic. -

Anyone in the West end should know about Stoney's! They have fabulous lunches. Their sandwiches are out of this world, fresh bread every day. I most recently went there for breakfast on a Saturday and they did not disappoint. I got a spinach fritatta and it was fabulous. Big chucks of mushroom and cheese with spinach. The side salad was perfectly dressed.
They have great coffee as well. I would recommend going there for their Sunday brunch which I have heard great things about.Listed in: Breakfast/Brunch Spots, Oakville

OK, maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but Stoney's remains really, really good. I finally came here for my first dinner time experience, and it was dyn-o-mite.
Now, be warned dinner is a bit different. The cafeteria style ordering method proved a little dicey with six people. You cannot 'reserve' a table without everyone in your party having ordered and procured food, so we weren't even sure that we would be able to sit together. Somehow we managed to cram our group of six around a pair of two tops, but it was definitely a hail Mary situation.
Once seated however, that Stoney's magic started to happen. We had four (count 'em, four) pizzas to share and two orders of steamed mussels, one in tomato sauce, the other in creamy dill.
The mussels were fine but I didn't really care about them and judge harshly those that wasted table space by ordering them (YES YOU TONY F). The pizzas were the real star. They made me literally (not literally) weep with joy.
We got the Coastal Mushroom (a mush and cheese orgy), Saltimbocca (chicken and prosciutto), Marisco (artichoke, mush, and pine nuts) and the Bilbao (chorizo, bacon and cambozola). The Coastal Mushroom was a huge hit; never has a pile of mushrooms been that enthralling. The saltimbocca was also enjoyable, though true to its name a little salty. My personal favourite was the Bilbao (my choice, natch) the cambozola imparted a bit of bleu cheese flavour to the pizza proceedings. Amazeballs.
It should be noted that in spite of the tough seating sitch (which genuinely sucked and could have marred our dining experience) the food outshines all. It's just that good here. Go now.Listed in: Welcome to the Oakville Bubble

Came back here with Vivek, Mel C. and other friends and shared 4 pizzas and 2 bowls of mussels... it's still soooooo yummy! Like I don't mean just mmmm omnomnom yummy. I mean "C is for Cookie" OMNOMNOMNOMNOM NOM NOm Nom yummy!
One tip: Shrooms! The shroom pizza is clearly the general fave.
2nd tip: The dill(io) and tomato mussels were not as good as whatever the 3rd choice of which I can not remember at this time (garlic something something if I remember correctly). The previous two were only..meh.
I've GOT to come back to sample the sandwiches that Vivek keeps talking about.Listed in: Omnomeriffic Yum! (TM), Date night

Review from Richie S.
Thinking of Stoney's = drool. Pavlov could have just used me.
I can't believe I haven't written about Stoney's before now. For those who haven't been, think Sandwich BOX but with better tasting and less health conscious.
Located in the seedier part of Oakville (an oxymoron in and of itself). Unless you know what you're looking for, you'd just assume the place was maybe a bakery, except for the fact that you have to fight for a seat on Saturdays from roughly 12:30 - 2. Stoney's has 5-6 gourmet pizzas, a dozen or so sandwiches, a half dozen soups and an equal number of salads to choose from when ordering, not including the Soup/Sandwich of the Day.
Cafeteria-like ordering, you almost wish for a line up so you can properly peruse the menu before ordering. Pay and find a seat; they'll bring your order(s) to you. Brunch on Sundays? Outstanding, but be prepared to bribe people for a seat.
Most recently, I started with the butternut/pear soup and had the slow-roasted lamb sandwich for a main. My chick had something with grilled veggies and goat cheese (it had no meat, so why would I care?!).
The soup was a great start. Rustic, thick and comes with crostini. This is my favourite of the lot. My sandwich was a thing of beauty. It was perfectly cooked and juicy as all hell. I've always wondered why the sandwich itself is served in a pool of olive oil / balsamic as it tends to get a bit messy whilst eating - is it overflow from the sandwich? I don't care, it is that good.
My wife's order was quite good as well - veggies roasted very well and goat cheese by itself is awesome, but once warmed added to anything it rocks.
Really friendly staff constantly clear tables to allow a throng of people to sit.
Prices are indeed higher than what you'd find in a deli, but quality goes a long way. For two people, be prepared to spend $25-40. -

Now here's an experience I'll never forget.
It begins when we walk into the restaurant and it's crammed full of people, which is normally a good thing but the crowd starts to seem quite unpleasant when it's clear that me and my partner in crime are a little lost.
Where the heck is the greeter?
At a first glance, anyone can understand that this is cafeteria style dining, line up to place your order and sit down in the available bench seating. We assume that we can grab a table during the chaos and order when we're settled, but when we ask the servers about bussing the clutter of dishes we are dismissed and told to order.
I understand, you're busy. It's a popular place and the food smells and looks great, there's a reason why we ventured into the city. A little consideration for the customer would be greatly appreciated though, and unfortunately it took 3-4 attempts to get an explanation.
"You have to order and then we'll seat you."
Oh, great. Thanks for finally taking the time to get the point across. Your system is so cool and it must work and completely make sense, guys! I'm not buying it, get someone at the door already!
In the end, we decided to leave. As if the experience wasn't already unpleasant, being ignored and experiencing eye rolling, and a sharp comment made by the manager, we decided that paying $16.50 for a bowl of pasta wasn't worth lousy service and the crowded environment, which is also cold and uninviting. -

I wish I wish something like Stoney's Bread Company exist in Markham/Richmond Hill area! From now on all my sunday brunch will be rated based on what I ate at Stoney's, this is really hard to beat!
The Egg Florentine (Poached eggs, baby spinach, tomato chutney, brie on grilled focaccia with hollandaise and field green) I ordered was so so so good.. Yes it brings tears in my eyes when I am eating that. The 1 hour drive really worth my while!
Everything tasted so fresh and the tomato chutney has this sour, sweet and interesting complex taste and so Italian.. as I am great fan of Italian food!
Though my breakfast comes to a total of $15 includes tips and taxes.. which is a lot more than my usual.. but I can feel there is no turning back... I might have to skip all my cheap $3 breakfast at HK style cafe from now on.
I really want to try everything on the Sunday Menu!!! sigh... They only open from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Sunday.
Next time if you are on the way to Niagara Falls for any reason.. (driving your oversea visitors to see the Falls, going to Outlet Mall, driving to Buffalo airport for your cheap flights) please come and try this place out and you see all these rave is about!Listed in: A Day in Oakville!, Weekend Brunchs in GTA!

Stoney's came recommended and today was our first visit from out of town.
The decor was pleasant, casual and allowed for a quick lunch or longer slower lunch. The whole menu had a gourmet flare and the plates of food were extremely generous !! I totally enjoyed my lunch, everything was delish!!! minus 1 star tho.... my yummy salad could have had more dressing!! Wish we had this place in Cambridge!! -

Pretty good lunch fare, I'm a little disappointed they wouldn't make me an omelet at 2 PM, I was really looking forward to it. Had their veggie sandwich that was very good and my buddy had some tuna contraption that he said was great. Presentation of sandwiches was very impressive. Price was fair. Ordering is unique, you go to a counter at the back, place your order and pay. They then give you a number, you find a table, they find you. The pizza's looked amazing, maybe next time!

Have been to this place (a jewel on Kerr Street) at least 10 times, and I am never disappointed. I get a little bit annoyed at the lineup during peak times, but that quickly goes away once I get my "number" and proceed to a seat.
Everything I've tried is good: salads, sandwiches, pizza, desserts.
I love the complimentary lemon water they provide too!

Absolutely and wholly, paradise for the taste buds. Everything I have tried here, has been amazing. The quality is high, the presentation is artistic, and the portions are just right. On top of everything, their lattes are super yum! So far, the Blackened Chicken Sandwich has easily made it to my all-time-favourite-dishes list, although I have a while to go before I have tried everything off of the menu.
If you are in Oakville, and you want to pamper your taste buds, this is the place to do it. -
Review from Kent P.
Fucking love this place. And its not just for the Oakville MILFs that hang out for brunch.
I'll drive down here for the sandwiches any day of the week.
as @Kat F says- sandwiches aren't the only things on the menu- Stoney's has a super popular brunch and pasta is crazy good / filling.
Ok, all those things are well and good...but the sandwiches are what really are right in my wheelhouse. Go for the slow roasted lamb. It's perfect. Garlic aioli and some spinach on a soft triangle focaccia bun.

I went with two co-workers who shared the Calabria and the back-bacon sandwich - each had half of one - I thought that was cute and a great way to try two sandwiches b/c narrowing it down to one is tough.Listed in: Fav. Lunch Spots

This restaurant is OH MY, HOLY FAR! But this place is OH SO WORTH THE DRIVE!
Everything Stoney's that I put in my mouth (with the exception of dessert) was more than delicious. And here are the items I ate during my first and only visit (but soon to be alot more than the one time):
- butternut squash and pear soup
- spinach salad with poached pears, apricots, spiced pecans, cambozola, champagne vinaigrette and more yummy goodness
- pulled pork sandwich with garlic aioli
- bilbao pizza (chorizo, mushrooms, bacon, garlic, cambozola)
- ratatouille with goat cheese on naan
- a mini banana cream pie
As you can tell, my belly was content!
Next time though, I'll pass on the banana cream pie. The banana flavouring tasted artificial, but to Stoney's defense - I don't think they bake their own desserts. Too bad, they don't bake their own desserts. If they did than this place would be heaven!
I can't wait to try this place for Sunday brunch... and all the other meals and snack times that exist!Listed in: These are a few of my favorite…

And on the seventh day, He said let their be BRUNCH!!!
Hands down, my favorate spot in the GTA. The pastas are good, the pizzas are great, and the sandwhiches and Sunday brunch are another reason to love life!
The creative genious that crafted this menu is like Michaelangelo to me (not the ninja turtle, but the other guy)...an artist among artists! Each sandwhich is served on it's own unique bun/bread, with a specific cheese to bring out the medly of flavours from each fresh and favorful ingredient that tops the mouth watering meat that has been marinated to the core and then cooked to perfection!
While I don't do pork, I've tried most of the sandwhiches on the menu by now. The slow roasted lamb and blackened salmon were both stellar. Even better were the steak sandwhich cooked the way YOU like it, and an incredible chicken sandwhich found on their daily specials menu.
I was already convinced that this was my favorate restaurant in the GTA and then I took my parents here for a sunday brunch. This place has a seperate sunday brunch menu that is unique to any i've ever seen before and it completely blew my mind. One of few places that can satisfy a vegetarian and a meataterian alike. Each plate comes with some mystery ingredients that i'd never heard of before. Huge portions, and great food that will leave your mouth watering for weeks every time you think back to it that great sunday afternoon. The only catch is the restaurant closes at 3pm on sundays and gets hella busy by noon. So set your alarms, put on those loose track pants and get to it!
If you love food...then its about time you met the new love of your life! -

I came for the sandwiches, but I left with a doggy bag of baked pasta. There were just far too many menu options for me to choose from, and looking up from left to right, sandwiches showed up last and by then I was already overwhelmed. To top it off, I asked if I could omit the meat from one of the dishes and the counter girl gave me a "we can do ANYTHING since we make everything absolutely from scratch" kind of look.
I opted for the Butternut Squash and Pear soup as well as the Four Cheese Penne, both winners. The soup (my absolute favourite soup flavour combination) was the perfect consistency and may have had a bit of cream in it, but not so much that it was too thick. There was also the wonderfully sweet taste of fresh pears that I loved. The penne was so rich that after eating the soup I was barely able to dent my dish. You could tell that the pasta had JUST come out of the oven and that each of the four melted cheeses on top of it was fresh and of very high quality.
The decor was warm and inviting, with many types of people and different sized groups all enjoying a meal side by side. The staff was very friendly and professional, and didn't hesitate to offer help if you so much as glanced towards the counter. -

Mmm Mmm GOOD! So this past week, I went for the second time. Always a great environment, as I entered into the restaurant. Great service, chefs always laughing and having a good time. Servers, very caring. Thing is you have to order first, then find your seating. Kinda brings it back to the cafeteria days. Order in line, pay, get your number, find a seat, and then your food gets brought over.
First time I went was on a Saturday afternoon, and I ordered the "Bilbao" pizza ($13.50, chorizo sausage, wild mushrooms, roasted garlic, bacon and cambozola with tomato sauce). I even added pepperoni, because I'm a "meatatarian" haha.
Second time I went, they had a daily soup special, "Roasted Garlic Potato and Bacon" soup. ($5.00) Can't go wrong with garlic!! That was my starter and for my meal, I ordered the "NY Steak Sandwich" ($13.50, caramelized onions, wild mushrooms and brie served open face on focaccia with mixed field greens). My friend had the "Spinach Salad" ($12.00, poached chai tea pears, cambozola, asaigo, spiced pecans, apricots and champagne vinaigrette).
I've posted pics of the pizza, NY steak sandwich and the spinach salad.
Some things I'd give negative points:
- it's a bit expensive
- they have a different menu (daily breakfast, sunday brunch, pasta, etc)
- no website to help promote
- seat yourself
- the distance if you're not from Oakville (haha kidding) -

Absolutely superb sandwiches. It reminds me of Sandwich Box in Toronto for those who are aware of that place.
The production company I run/work for was shooting in the area and we had Stoney's cater it and it went over incredibly well. These things are heaven between a bun I tell you.
It might seem expensive until you take that first bite, at which point you'll realize you're ripping them off. -

As a fat guy, I'm a bit of a sandwich buff, and this place ranks high on my list of "best ever" sandwiches. Located in the less-scary-than-it-was-ten-years-ago Kerr Village area of Oakville, this is definitely one of the places I'll go despite the obvious trendiness and hype.
The menu consists of probably a dozen decadent sandwiches, almost as many pizzas and a handful of salads. If you feel like dropping $3.50 on some overpriced juice, you can also do that here. Everything is certainly "premium priced" in terms of regular sandwich prices but there is great value in pretty much any option you choose.
Your options are definitely gourmet, but not so pretentiously gourmet that you'll feel like a douche for ordering. Also, the menu has a number of basic/gourmet options that picky, non-foodophile's can appreciate. Let's just say my friend "Chicken Parm" Phil can even find a sandwich he loves here.
While the sandwiches are clearly the focus (and rightfully so, try the lamb...mmm), the pizzas are fantastic and down right huge given the price ($8-14). My suggestion though is to stay away from the options with more than 4 different kinds of meat on them (there are a few) as they can get a bit salty.
A small but upscale patio offers the chance to have that cute girl you were trying to pick up drive by and see you hungrily scarf down a sandwich, but you won't care, they're just that good. -

Holy crap this place is awesome. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. And I likes me my sandwiches.
My wife and I were looking for a place to get some decent lunch and good coffee before heading back to the States. We found this place on Yelp and decided to trek down to try it out.
My wife got the chicken sandwich with pears, brie, and caramelized onions. So freaking tasty!! It was a little messy, and stuff kept spilling out the sides, but each component was prepared well, and the combination of all the flavors was spot on.
I got the bbq pork sandwich (I ordered the rosemary crusted pork loin, but we were in a rush so I didn't bother having it changed). I took one bite and instantly forgot what I previously ordered. The pork was tender and incredibly juicy. I was worried the sauce might overwhelm the flavor of the pork, but it was perfectly balanced, and I had to keep myself from licking my fingers afterwards.
Our sandwich plates came with a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but we weren't sure what to do with it. Dip the sandwich bread in it? Weird.
We added the butternut squash/pear soup that tasted JUST LIKE AUTUMN. It wasn't too rich, had just a little sweetness from the pear, and had a perfect combo of spices that wasn'tcloying or overpowering.
Our coffee was good too, though not extraordinary.
The feel of the place is a little too yuppy for me, but I was told that's Oakville in general. Some of the tables are a little too close together when not separated by aisles (ours was maybe two inches from the table to my left). But I love the pictures on the wall and the black/red/yellow paint scheme.
Go get a sandwich there now!! -

Stoney's is the thing I miss most about Oakville.......yummy fresh bread, amazingly fresh food, creative items and a staff that is passionate about their jobs and the food they serve.
Maureen P hit the nail right on the head - it's worth the drive to Oakville:)
My mouth is watering thinking about the spinach and goats cheese salad. It's the best one I have had and I can't replicate it even at the build your own salad places!
The atmosphere is so homey and welcoming, you could spend all day just enjoying little bits of food. It's a wonderful place for a lunch date or a place to stop in after a day of shopping with the girls. -

I actually found this off Yelp and being a local was surprised to have never noticed it before. The location is easily leading the way in making Kerr St. more like the downtown with its interior décor and wonderful small café patio.
Even better the staff inside where all smiles and very pleasant. The lunch hour crowd was large so get there early or be prepared for a line up. There is no better review then the size of this line!
I was on the hunt for a great sandwich and found one. I had the "Calabria's" chicken sandwich which was just exceptional. I used to have a favorite at Sharky's called the "Pebble Beach" this is my new favorite. After reading the menu there will for sure be one or more new favorite sandwiches on the way. They also look to have a really good breakfast menu that I am really looking forward to trying.
With company coming for the summer this is going to be a stop for lunch and maybe a Sunday breakfast for sure. -

Stoney's is the perfect location for a casual brunch in Oakville area on Sundays. As already stated its order at counter serves to table style. Service staff is prompt and friendly.
Casual atmosphere, great creative menu selections and choice. They have many styles of sandwiches, crepes and omelettes that are all large portions. My son had the French toast which was served fluffy and hot with Cinnamon butter whipped and fruit on side. He loved it. .
I had a crepe with veggies and sausage inside which was also delicious! My wife had a fruit filled crepe, which she as well loved. All 3 of us voted we would return. Heck even the normal coffee was hot and fresh which as coffee snobs was amazing to us.
On your way through town here is a place to stop only minutes off QEW highway. -

If you only have twenty bucks you can have an outstanding meal and still have change in your pocket. Pasta dishes are up there with the best anywhere. It is not the place to go for a night out, you will be in and out in an hour. You order your food before you are seated which confuses people the first time eating there. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a new breakfast joint and saw all the great reviews for this place. Checked it out today. We had the tuna sandwich, greek salad, and their version of eggs benedict. The tuna with dill and olive were awesome, the feta on the greek salad was very flavourful. the eggs benedict came on foccaccia and was very filling. Service was friendly. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu.

The food at this place is delicious and I don't mind the cafeteria style serve yourself setup. My only qualm would be that it's pretty pricey so I personally won't be eating there all the time but every once in a while it's a welcome treat.

Thank you fellow yelpers the food was awesome! Hubby and I split the blackened chicken sandwich and the spinach salad and were more that satisfied. The area around the restaurant is really nice as well. Definitely stop in if you are in the area....wish I came in on a Sunday for the brunch though, menu looked awesome!!!

I really enjoy this place. It has a nice Californian feel. Along with this the meals are delicious. I suggest a steak sandwhich or chicken sandwich. The salads they prepare are also excellent.
