I would say that this place is deserving of a good, solid 4 stars. It really didn't blow me away, but it was much better than most places for sure.\n\nFirst, I must say that my family and I are huge fans of Chef Johnny Chu and used to frequent the restaurant \"Fate,\" which used to be located in what is now Bliss ReBAR. However, I believe a few years ago another company bought out Fate and turned it into something else which is obviously no longer there, and for good reason -- I went there once but it was just not the same experience. It was a very watered down version of what Fate had used to be. I'm truly glad that something good has come of this once-quaint little house in downtown Phoenix!\n\nThe staff was very friendly, the atmosphere lovely, and the place still has its charms. The food and drinks were decently priced and delicious. We all had breakfast items, I believe, since it was a late Sunday morning brunch for us. We were able to come right in and sit down immediately as it wasn't too busy. They also had some drink deals for Sunday morning, including a really good, spicy Bloody Mary. It was decently strong, too! \n\nI had the French Toast with Pretzel Bread; I usually hate French Toast, but it was very delicious here. The bacon was good too. My husband shared it with me, and I had some of his omelet which was also delicious. We also shared an order of the coconut chicken strips with the rest of the table. I believe someone wanted to have a fancy version of chicken and waffles for breakfast! :) These were very good as well. I was also able to try some breakfast nachos and was happy with those as well.\n\nOur server was very endearing. He was very friendly and helpful, and it seemed like the other staff members were as well. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would dine here again. :)
