I've been here a few times now and it's a solid restaurant.  It's located in the east tower of the River Rock Casino.  Windows face north and overlook the water.

Service is excellent and very consistent from visit to visit.  They're quite polished,…More »

I had the misfortune of being dragged here for breakfast with my in-laws, who don't always have the best taste in food.  I guess they have "great" IHOPs in their hometown but I'd rather go hungry than come back here again!

Standard greasy breakfast…More »

4.5 stars.

I had time to wait this past weekend for a nice brunch with a friend.  I can see why there's always a line-up here on weekends!

All brunch items are $11 and portions are huge.  Add a lovely french press coffee or juice for $3 and you're set…More »

Great brunch find in the West End!

Had Sunday brunch with Crystal and Reena - nice atmosphere, quieter area and NO line-ups - yay!  Love the purse hooks under the table and in the bathroooms.

The decor is unique... and those who know me as a Tiffany…More »

3 stars for the food, 4 stars for the coffee.

We were looking for a quick brunch before a movie and this place had no line-up on Sunday.  Reasonable prices and coffee is great!  Yum - perfect black Americano :)  (I hear it's from Cafe Artigiano next…More »

3.5 stars (gasp!)

Sorry to rain on the Medina parade, but it was really just a bit better than A-OK for me in spite of the good UYE company.  I think this happens to me when I hear a lot of hype about something and I often end up being a bit…More »

One of my favorite brunch places - the parking is a pain, but once you're here, it's great.  It's right by the water, hence the "marinaside", and wonderful to take a stroll after brunch.

I've been here many times over the last few years and find the…More »

This is my first time back since the elite event... this was the place that got picked for this weekend's GTG with my girlfriends.

We got in just before it became packed - it seems to get really busy after 11am here.  Service is okay so you need to…More »

My hubby loves this place so we often stop by when we're in the Kits area.  We just had brunch there again yesterday - it's pretty consistent and a solid 3*... would bump them up to 4 if the service is more consistent.

It's almost always busy when we…More »

2.5 stars.

Finally came to Sophie's on my brunch tour of the city with girlfriends.  We've all heard a ton of this place and I was curious with the huge variation in ratings.

I don't dislike it, but I honestly don't get why anyone would wait to eat…More »

A-okay... I was expecting more since I've heard great things about the place.  Came here with a group of friends on the weekend with no wait.  Huge brunch/breakfast menu with a focus on bennies and eggs.

Service is minimal and decor is very basic and…More »

One of the downsides of not living downtown/Kits is the lack of brunch/greasy breakfast places on the weekends when you need a bacon and eggs fix.

This Denny's is close to me and what can I say, it's a Denny's.  It's average for the chain and service…More »

I don't come out this way often but it was time we finally met near the where one of my friends lives - she's been giving this place two thumbs up so a group of us came by this weekend.

Aside from getting lost in New West even with my GPS and tackling…More »
