Went here with the bf for brunch on a weekend morning. He got the Chicken Melt with the fresh fruit on the side and I got their half sandwich and half soup (Grilled Beef Tri-Tip Sandwich with their soup of the day - Rustic Mushroom Soup). Here's my breakdown of the food: Their sour dough bread was f-bomb delicious. I regret not asking if they sell their sourdough alone so I can bring home and make myself some sandwiches. The meat on both sandwiches seem to be off. The chicken was too dry. The tri-tip had a weird tang after-taste. The tang/sour taste is similar to when eating lamb. It wasn't something anyone would expect when eating beef tri-tip. I wasn't sure if the dip made it tangy/sour but when I brought it up with the waitress, she told me she thought so too when she had it last. The cheese was ok in the chicken melt. The rustic mushroom soup was very good. I LOVE mushroom and the soup tasted very mushroom concentrated. It wasn't very creamy but it wasn't watery either. I would de

I had the blta. The bread was great but overall the sandwich was a bit dull. The room itself is nice and the vibe was fun and lively. I would go back but I would not get the blta.
