    I went for Summer Restaurant Week and the food was delicious. The Sockeye Salmon was the best I've ever had. Sit outside, the patio lights are pretty neat.

    A creative and delicious brunch menu awaits; add a mimosa à la carte for only $4. Duck enchiladas include amazing mole, and the pancakes are peanut-buttery if you're after something sweeter.

    Brunch is loud and the host may give you a hard time, but the staff is great the pan con tomato is a good choice. A reservation is necessary for a table but brunch at the bar is allowed.

    Play bocce in the patio since they have a court. Order a nice wine or Italian beer to drink while you make new friends playing bocce.

    Tables outside on the patio are best for overall brunch experiences (less noise than inside). Brunch bottomless mimosas end at 3pm so try to arrive by noon or 1pm.

    An excellent place to brunch en masse and drink bottomless mimosas. If weather permits, don’t forget about the back "plaza" featuring an old-world fountain'd, brick-enclosed bocce court. Read more

    Two slices of bacon is all you will need. The bloody mary's aren't as flavorful or spicy as I like them but the Mimosas a free flowing!

    Another popular dish seems to be the sliders. Take your pick of beef, bison, or lamb. You MUST, MUST, MUST try the Bukettraube Cederberg (South African White Wine).

    Bitches Who Brunch recommend Vinoteca for an inexpensive, gourmet brunch - but only if you don't mind the crowd noise. Try the bottomless mimosas. Read more

    Sit at the bar for better service. It's busy so they won't come after you, but as wine virgins we were easily able to get their attention for hand-holding help.

    Do get the cheese plate & kale. Avoid any dish that involves chicken liver (e.g., the gnocchi). Server seemed unconcerned when we said 1 of the chocolates on tasting plate tasted like soap.
