Sunny Side Solana

I don’t usually review restaurants. My friends and I went to Sunny side for a birthday brunch. We were a group of 8. Our drinks came out first. Three of us ordered the oat milk lattes and the milk had obviously gone bad and curdled. The server apologized and brought out new drinks. Then the coffee cup, white inside, had food stuck on the sides. Then the server brought a new cup and this one was dirty too. Finally 3rd time around I got a clean cup. Then to top it all one of our friends, found a 2-3 inch piece of plastic in the middle of her pancake!!! We are all locals and would have loved to visit this restaurant more frequently. They do have a good menu and a great location, however after our experience yesterday I question the cleanliness of this establishment and fear that next time we won’t be so lucky to see the plastic before it goes into our mouths! Deeply disturbing and disappointing experience.

Get the chicken and waffles. Or live a miserable, meaningless life. Your call.

Delicioso todo perfecto

My husband and I have eaten brunch here several times. We liked everything that we had (pancakes, chorizo burrito, scrambowl, omelette). However, they didn’t tell us that there was a $6 additional charge for substituting fruit for potatoes until we got the bill. In addition of not appreciating not being told when I made the substitution, the $6 surcharge seems a bit steep compared to similar establishments that either allow substitutions for free or at a much more reasonable cost (e.g., $2-3). Also the service was only excellent 2 of the 4 times we went when he had the young man who serves outside on weekends. He was outstanding but the other were ‘meh’.

Place was beautiful and the outdoor seating is perfect for a Sunday brunch. We got the HWY 101 and Short Rib Benedict! Very delicious and hearty. They also brought out a water bowl for our furry friend.

Remember Beach Grass Cafe? Same thing same waiter(s) changed look for older crowd maybe? I tried the Chilaquiles but the waiter asked if I wanted steak or chicken I chose steak. Avocado? Sure! I knew the avocado was extra but didn't realize the meat was not part of the dish. If it was good I'd be fine paying the $16 extra (+$4 for the avo) but it was a thin very tough piece with so much gristle I had to pull half of each bite out of my mouth because I couldn't chew through it! So awful. The regular Chilaquiles w/o the extras was probably pretty good but insult to injury I can never go back. Parking: not hard

Three of us ate here and each of us loved our meals - hot, tasty, and fresh. The service was incredible. And in case you’re wondering, they serve real maple syrup and homemade jams.

Vegan scramble bowl was delicious. Would definitely return.
