We had a great time. Food was good. Drinks were good. The only downside is for the mimosas there was a delay in ordering more since the waiters were busy. Their pomegranate martini is chefs kiss! Different food options which is great for family.
I had a great time here! We were well taken care of and Gus was a great server, I would ask for him if you come visit! We came from out of state and he was so welcoming!!! I am definitely coming again next time!
Decided to try this location for lunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The prices are comparable to other restaurants and the portions were generous. The waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and offered suggestions. We sat near the bar area and it was not crowded at all. Overall.... it was a nice experience.
We went there for a brunch and really enjoyed our food! The Brisket Omelette was really tasty; ask for fajitas with your house potatoes, very delicious! Spicy Bloody Mary was good too. Overall, great food and highly recommended, we will be definitely back next time we visit friends in Moorpark, CA!
We celebrated a birthday party at Serendipity Café & Bar, and it couldn’t have been better! The atmosphere was amazing, the food and drinks were delicious, and the service was outstanding. A special thanks to the manager, who was incredibly helpful and made sure everything went perfectly. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the music set the perfect vibe for our celebration. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion or a fun night out — we’ll definitely be back!
What an amazing family owned business! Not only was the food perfect for a picky eater like myself but the staff was so kind and welcoming. Today I ordered a very basic breakfast that is easy to mess up. I ordered eggs scrambled well with hash browns and pancakes with a side of fruit. I'm very picky when it come to eggs... the eggs were perfect! Not stiff or watery, just perfect fluffy and delicious I did not have to season! The hash browns were crunchy on the outside without being burnt and moist and buttery in the middle. The pancakes!!!! Bah were delicious, first I tried them without syrup or butter and the batter was so fulfilling. Being firm on the outside and soft in the middle these absolutely hit the spot. After I added butter and syrup..... oh geez everything just got better. The fruit tasted fresh. The coffee was fresh Not burnt even without sugar. They offer French vanilla and half and half if you need it. The ice tea hit the spot! I'm definitely a tea drinker and this tea is top two for me. Now to the service... my main server was Jazz. Jazz was more than kind and accommodating. They were absolutely willing to tell me about the restaurants history and how they love working for this family. The other servers were super kind as well. I didn't go without a drink the entire time. Everyone smiled and looked very clean! Then entire place is very clean. They offer alot of mimosa combinations for those who want a breakfast with friends . All in all this place is definitely a place I recommend to families, friends or single riders lol. They will make you feel welcomed and will accommodate and become creative to make sure your visit is the best. Oh and if you have allergies... they have a second kitchen to prepare the food. I loved it!
The host was amazing! The food was good, and I suspect the atmosphere was super quiet because I went on a weekday, midday. Sports games were on, so weekends are probably the best times to go if you want some excitement! Definitely will visit again but with a group so we can try the monster margarita. I got the bottomless mimosas, and the best one was the strawberry, hands down!!!
Took my wife here for her birthday recently; great staff very attentive and kind. While the atmosphere was welcoming and clean. The food had something to desire, thou the look was nice the taste didn't deliver. Also had the monster mimosa definitely a crowd pleaser.
