In Short
With a 50-year reputation as one of the Monterey Peninsula's most popular spots for hearty morning meals and early-bird dinners, this upscale-casual cafe has relocated to the Cal State Northridge neihborhood, bringing along its mammoth menu and low-stress, NorCal vibe. House specialty breakfasts range from creative egg dishes to funnel cake-crusted French toast. At lunch and dinner, highlights include spinach-cheese ravioli, chicken piccata and Mediterranean-influenced entrees such as beef-and-veggie kebabs, calamari steaks, and braised lamb shank.
