So I zeroed in on this place seeing so much of good reviews. My experience was honestly average. For start the place is really crowded on Sundays. So if you are someone who enjoys bkfst with a somewhat less crowd and noise then might avoid this place over weekends.Second since it was a busy day at the restaurant, I was informed by the server that all order has to be given at once and she will not be taking a second round of order later on as it’s crowded… which is a serious turn off for me. Again might work for many but I don’t love getting pushed and ordering more only because there is no second round of order being taken.Now for the food selection, we ordered Hash it out and veggie omelette . The food ? presentation is really good. The dish Hash it out had just too much of Potatoes for my liking. Again I am no expert on the dish type. Maybe this dish is served the way it is. I would encourage people to try the dish and have their own perspective. After all there are many other good experiences for many of the customers here .

Great food, one check rule makes it so you can’t add any side or food if you’d like anything else. Not the end of the world but can limit you if you’d see something else or just would like to add anythingParking: Parking lot near by

One of the best brunch spots around. From the thick cut bacon to the fluffy pancakes there’s nothing you won’t like. Went for the first time a few weeks ago and have been back twice. I have yet to be disappointed by anything off the menu. Their Tres Leches French toast comes drizzled with Maple syrup, two scoops of whipped cream and loaded with blueberries and strawberries. A perfect sweet treat. The winner for me is the coconut guava cream pancakes. These are fluffy creamy and perfectly sweet. I can’t say enough about their pancakes plus I’m a sucker for guava. Their omelet is delicious and filling. The Hot Honey chicken & waffles will leave you stuffed. The sweet waffle and savory fried chicken is the perfect mix. And finally to discuss my favorite dish, the huevos Rancheros. This is hands down the best huevos rancheros I’ve had. Their chorizo is so packed with flavor and spice it makes the dish. This dish couldn’t be any more complete with its combination of chorizo, shrimp and cooling guacamole plus the two sunny side up runny eggs on top of two crispy tortillas. Highly recommend this place but warned there is a wait so be sure to make a reservation if you’re not a fan of waiting

We wanted to try a fancy brunch spot and ended up at De Martino. The ambience and the service were spectacular. The food was mediocre. We had the kids chocolate chip pancakes (no one liked them), kids grilled chicken and fries (a winner!), a steak sandwich (no), beef empanada (no), and chillequilles (sp?) (I didn't care for them). I thoroughly enjoyed the French fries and my gingerbread Chai tea espresso latte.Despite the less than delicious meal, I would return and try something different.

Great food, our party of 5 loved all of our meals. It was our first time going & we will definitely be back. The service was prompt and everything was lovely. Love that it’s BYOB. The nearby parking lots were easy to access. Definitely recommend making reservations!

What an amazing place. The atomsphere is wonderful and you can have a nice conversation with your table without yelling. The food was unmatched for breakfast.. the banana walnut pancakes satisfied my sweet and salty. Eggs Benedict’s was perfect. Blueberry Lemon Ricotta pancakes provided the perfect sweet and zesty. Highly recommend!!!

I wish I could tell you more about the food, however, we did not get to have a meal. My best friend called two weeks prior to make a reservation to take me out for my birthday. She was told since it’s only two of us, no reservations would be needed as they’d be able to sit 2 quickly (reservations only for 6+ people). We arrive before 11:30 and are told it’ll be a 90-minute wait. Now I understand having to wait for a table to become available at any dining establishment. What doesn’t make sense to me is that you don’t take reservations for smaller parties, but then they force people who would have happily planned/moved around dates to make a reservation to now wait 90 minutes. On top of that, where are people supposed to wait? This isn’t a huge location with a very small entryway. I wish I could predict the weather to know if we should wait the 90 minutes outside. I do think they need to seriously consider a policy change about reservations. This was a brunch date we had in plans for weeks and, unfortunately, think a 90 minute wait is over the top.

Was in on 02/25/24 food was great and price was fair. But feeling a bit ripped off. Our bill was 66.63 and we left a 20% tip in CASH as we always try to leave a cash tip. Come to find out when going through my bank charges there was an extra 12 dollar discrepancy and was charged a total of 78.63. Don’t care how good the food is I will not be back.

Called last week to see if I needed to make a reservation for 4. Was told they take walk ins and to just come early. Arrived this morning and was told I needed to be on a waitlist. 3 hour wait. Very disappointing. Won’t be coming back or recommending anyone to come here.For context for the reply below.. I spoke with a member on the phone that confirmed “for mother’s day” that if I came at a certain time the wait wouldn’t be long. I listened to her exact instructions and was still met with new information when I arrived. The response to this reply takes no accountability for the mistake, which reconfirms the unprofessionalism and lack of maturity from the owner. Very sad.
