   The food was great! Loved the grilled cheese and tomato soup. So flavorful! Only problem was we had a major issue with booking our reservation. I booked 7 for high tea through the website for Dec. 28th on Nov. 1st. I have a confirmation email and paid $441. Upon arriving they did not have my reservation. I showed the hostess my conf. email and she said politely that they don't use opentable anymore, and they had just switxhed to Toast. Well, my issue is why didn't they notify all the reservations on opentable prior to switching and verify all reservations transferred over!? Anyway, we stayed for regular brunch and waited about 40 minutes for a table. Now the Manager has to call opentable to get our money back. I was there with family for Christmas and celebrating my sister's birthday with the High Tea. Unfortunate we didn't get to experience it.

   Whole Foods tasted good. I had the cheese omelette with fruit without strawberries a decaf Americano because they do not have decaf drift coffee with regular milk no skim milk here could not eat potatoes and salad due to medical condition so got fruit asked for bread ciabatta roll with instead of up George I was charged 450 for a roll which was a bit much but the food was very good except that there was a lot of butter in grease which had to be blocked off. That was unnecessary. There was also a lot of unnecessary grease in the cinnamon roll, which was really around cinnamon croissant With a lemon sugar glaze not icing so it tasted good but way too much grease Matcha cookie flavor in the middle was good but white chocolate chips were unnecessary and we’re just pure sugar so food is very good but they need to take about half the butter away. And maybe give a few more healthy smaller brunch options from the breakfast menu and maybe some uncured turkey or chicken, bacon and nachos pork. Also bakery cookies in the front for the French bakery would be a nice touch not just little pastries associated with a $50 a person specialty. I hear they’re moving to Alameda and Roberts, which will be lovely to a bigger place and adding three days a week dinner which looked really good online, but they don’t have right now so I’m looking forward to that. The staff was amazing and very helpful with issues and allergies

   First time here and we are already planning our next visit!! The food was amazing! I had the vegan sandwich and it was perfect, super flavorful. The fries were perfect too. My daughter had the creamy pesto pasta and she LOVED it. I had to try and it was super yummy. I cannot say enough about the Macaroons though, HOLY Taledo! BEST MACAROONS I've every had. So glad CC has a spot like this.

   I planned a special lunch with my sisters and made a reservation. Our table was empty when we got there but they told us they had to clear it. We waited 20 minutes for that to happen. We were finally able to order and thirty minutes later the waitress came to tell us they were out of what two people ordered. They ordered grilled cheese because at this point we were tired of waiting to eat. Everyone’s food but there’s came. Everyone had finished eating by the time ONE of the grilled cheese came. Never was there an apology

   Hi Sandra! Thank you for your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for the wait time you experienced. Our team should have ensured that your table was ready upon your arrival, and I apologize for the inconvenience this caused. I also regret that some meals were out of stock, and that others never arrived. This is not the standard of service that we strive to uphold. Your experience is important to us and I appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We would love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future and hope to see you again.

   i always get the strawberries and cream waffle , and it’s perfect. the waffle is the perfect softness and the strawberries always taste so fresh! my boyfriend gets the american breakfast and always always says how good the potatoes are lol. recently we tried a cream puff and a beignet and they were amazing! we also had a sample of a little chocolate cake and it was also amazing. i had a reservation for my birthday and they were all so nice complimenting me and wishing me a happy birthday and even gave me a free slice of cake which was so so so good it was perfect. 10/10 would recommend! it’s also gorgeous inside so
