“ Our first time here and looking forward to returning! Many delicious dinner choices to choose from. I need to come back and try dessert.. the bread pudding sounds amazing. ”
“ Delicious, fresh, scratch, comfort, friendly, ambiance... words Id use to describe Book Club. We had skewers and the tofu to start. All were super tasty and highly recommend. We then had the broccoli mac and a fried chickend sandwich. The chicken sandwich was top notch. The mac was also fairly tasty. ”
“ Really cute restaurant in a quaint little neighborhood. They have a really welcoming environment and the food was really fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed the mussels, the sauce was delicious. If Im ever around Ill stop by again. ”
“ Excellent food! Loved the seafood red curry! Service was very friendly, it just takes time. Its a smaller space, so reservations arent a bad idea. Everything is wheelchair accessible. The espresso martini was amazing! ”
“ Loved the bread pudding here! Like a French toast that got dressed up for a fancy party. Coffee was perfect. I always hate when chicken sandwiches are too thick but the one here is crispy and just the right thickness. I havent even eaten the Cobb salad I brought home yet but it looks beautiful. Great service and a nice atmosphere. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options labeled on the menu. ”
“ Very charming place that feels just like a cozy family home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal. Our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. ”
“ Edit again their happy hour is awesome! Get the steak skewers! Mac and cheese could use a bit more seasoning though. Edit I havent visited this place since my last review, and it still did not disappoint. We didnt catch the bartenders name, but they were so kind and made our experience truly that much better. I love to try a little bit of everything, so they did their best to make it work for me and I was so pleased. We didnt realize they did last call for the kitchen already and the bartender went out of their way for us. I cant say enough good things about this place. I love the vibe, service was great, they make a delicious dirty martini and if youre considering getting the grilled cheese with kimchi dont hesitate and just order it. You will NOT regret it. This place is phenomenal and quaint in every way youd expect a restaurant called Book Club to be. ”
“ Stopped here for brunch for the first time after driving by for years and always wanting to check it out! Theres a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away at 11am on a Sunday without reservations. We shared the bacon avocado burger and Miso Roasted Winter Squash and Brown Rice Bowl. Really liked the bacon avocado burger with fries. The bowl was good just not very big. We added the crispy tofu which I highly recommend. Could have used more of the veggies but it was good. They also had various coffee drinks as well as cocktails and mocktails. Very friendly service. There was a parking lot as well as free street parking. ”
