"I really adore this little restaurant. The food is consistently excellent, but I usually end up ordering the Dungeness crab and artichoke sandwich—it's fantastic! They don’t serve fries since the café is located in a historic building that can’t accommodate fryers. The service is always quite good, too."

I was pleasantly surprised! I visited an old town café for what I expected to be a typical breakfast (and I absolutely love old towns), but our meal was anything but ordinary! We had the cured beef, and you could tell it was definitely homemade—flavorful and delicious! We also enjoyed a bagel.

"This was my first and last time going to this restaurant! I only ended up here because the nearby restaurant was closed. The restaurant itself was very clean, but unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the food and service. I ordered two dishes for takeout - the special lamb curry and classic chicken curry. To my disappointment, both dishes came without any rice or bread, just the curry. The prices I paid were high for what I received, I could have gotten complete plates at any other nearby restaurants. The quality of the food was mediocre at best. The service was also subpar, as the person taking my order had difficulty speaking English and even kept my credit card until I asked for it back on my way out. Overall, it was a disappointing experience."

"The employees are super nice but the food is not so good. Ordered the brisket it was mushy and had no smoke flavor at all), spicy links these were good), Mac and Cheese super oily and no flavor). Potato salad this was just ok). Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but the brisket was not edible at all. Spent $50.00 and will not be back. Guess it gets such high marks because there isn’t another place nearby."

"First off the drive there is a cool little windy road just outside of, Crockett. It will take you to the cute enclave of Porta Costa. In the restaraunt you will see many old pics and and taxidermy and the ambiance of Victorian. I loved the food! I loved the service. Thank you, Parker! The bartender welcomed us in. Everyone on the staff we met were very friendly and accomodating. Parker had a down to earth hospitality and checked on us throughout the dinner. I took a chance on the fish (with Thai sauce and a side of the carrots (puttanesca sauce with ricotta green onions and cilantro giving it an Asian flair . I loved it paired with a hazy IPA on draftI Wife was happy with the spaghetti and fresh clams. I wished they would stay open later but we were there till 15 min after closing and there were still patrons at the bar. But you can also check the Warehouse Cafe across the street if they have to kick you out."

"We went to Huckleberry's to celebrate some birthdays in the family. I had never been there before. Now I can't wait to go back again! The staff was great, the food was amazing and the restaurant is kept up very nicely. After entering the restaurant we were greeted by a staff member and then we were taken to our seats. Like I said I had never been here before but once I saw that items on the menu I could not wait to try everything. We were given enough time to look over the menu while we waited for our lovely server. There were lots of different items and combination items to choose from. It was great. I chose waffles, eggs, sausage and red potatoes. I took my waffles with huckleberry topping. Which had me making noises while I was eating. I also had a huckleberry mimosa which was also amazing. Most of my family had the waffles but combined them with food like ham and bacon. The kids menu was good too. Also since three people in our party had birthdays they gave us birthday treats. Lastly, the set up of the restaurant, I really liked. The entrance has it's own space and the tables are behind that. The restaurant has a lot of space. Seating from other tables was separate. You couldn't even see the other people eating from the booth I was in. It felt very private and safe from others. All in all we had a great time and we can't wait to go back again."

"I celebrated my birthday lunch here with my family, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent—particularly the duck curry, tom kha gai, and Thai iced tea. The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. If you're planning to visit with a large group, I recommend calling ahead. I will definitely return for more delicious food when I'm in the area!"
