“ The food is delectable! We came for date night and had a great time. Service is fast and friendly. Chef Mike is a delight. We recommend the Moroccan cauliflower (delicious and not spicy), Brigade burger (Add avocado), fish & chips, and don't forget the Steak Frites! I'll be back for the Creme Brule Cheesecake! ”
“ Great new restaurant with a wonderful menu and large portions! Owner Mike is very nice and made us feel welcome! Had the local burger with linguica and homemade chips with herb ranch. My best friend had the deviled eggs side and a salad. Food was awesome and will be back to try the rest! UPDATE 9/18/21- Just tried their Grilled Chicken sandwich wth mozzarella cheese on focaccia bread and it was amazing! ”
“ This food was fantastic and I can't wait to go back! I went with my wife and two kids and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I had the grilled citrus Mahi Mahi sandwich and it was perfect and refreshing after a trip to the beach today. My wife got the brigade burger and she thought it was delicious. Both the burger and Mahi Mahi sandwich were so filling and we enjoyed every bite. My two boys shared the kids Mac & cheese, and my 4 year old said he loved it! I can easily say it's the best Mac & cheese I've ever had. We had the house potato chips with a side of ranch dip, and those were also very tasty. The soda machine even has some natural ingredient soda options: root beer, black cherry, and cream soda. The restaurant staff was welcoming and very nice. We had an opportunity to speak with the chef and owner, and you can just see how much he cares about the quality of his food and the customer's experience. He recommended the Mahi Mahi sandwich, and I'm so thankful I followed his advice because it was the perfect choice. The music was also a great choice, almost as if picking music from my own personal playlists: led zeppelin, red hot chili peppers, Coldplay, modest mouse, etc. My wife and I were still at the restaurant when we started planning out the next time we will visit and what we will try next. I fully recommend coming to this restaurant for its amazing food and wonderful hospitality! ”
“ A new favorite restaurant! Chef Mike is as friendly as he is a talented chef, offering up phenomenal food, flavor, and flare with a dynamic menu. We will be returning often. Pictured: Fresh Poke Bowl was amazing! ”
“ I have wanted to try this place for 6 months. Finally got there and it did not disappoint! We were ready for a quick lunch out on the patio. Great beer selection and the best burger ever! ”
“ Great food, great experience. It was hard to decide what to choose. I spent a few minutes scoping out the meals of the other diners and was completely torn between shrimp tacos, fish and chips, and the ahi poke bowl. I finally chose the poke bowl and it was one of the best I've ever had. Fish was fresh and high quality. Pretty sure the greens were local Babe Farms. The very generous bowl included edamame, seaweed, avocado, cucumber, radish and crispy, non- greasy wonton strips. The dressing was a miracle. Not too salty and with the perfect kiss of wasabi. Seriously, the chef needs to bottle and sell that dressing so I can have it all the time. I could have drunk it with a straw. The chef/owner came out to see if everything was alright and spent some time chatting with us. This is my new favorite Santa Maria dining spot. The hard thing is going to be deciding if I just want the amazing poke bowl everytime or if I want to try the fish and chips or shrimp tacos, which all looked equally delicious. Chef, if you read this, the only suggestion I have is that the music was too loud to allow for conversation. Can't wait to go back. ”
“ Definitely one of the hottest, must try restaurants in the Santa Maria Valley. Hands down. We're talking about a real chef, with real standards, with quality ingredients, with really good food. After we ordered, Chef Mike introduced himself and offered us a taste of tomorrow's menu: deviled eggs with a bit of chorizo. Delish. We got there before an hour of closing and we didn't mind waiting for our food because the kitchen worked as a team and the people ahead of us were being served accordingly. If you can't wait for good food made without a microwave, maybe you need to slow down. It is a smaller kitchen and they will only get better. We ordered from the Chef's Master Plate: Grilled Salmon and the Grilled Maple "Texas" Pork Chop. Wow! You can tell when you have a trained chef in charge. The salmon and the pork chop were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The quality of the ingredients and the cuisine for the price is a deal. You would need to drive an hour or more to get this expertise on display. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the friendly service! Can't wait to try the whole menu and bring friends! You must try this hot newer business! ”
“ I recommend the Shroom burger so good! The bread was so soft and the patty so delicious! I can't wait to try more. ”
