“ We hosted an event at the lighthouse. First of all they have some unique food options especially the Mushroom slider which is a must try. They have large dine in space indoor patio. It is a good option for doing any office happy hours. ”
“ Absolutely fabulous. Stunning architecture and design, better yet was the service and food. This cafe is tucked away in the Gateway business area but youd swear you were in a cafe in Napa. I had the smoked salmon with hummus and it was delicious. The service was impeccable, which is super important to me. Im only here for the day but if I worked in the area Id eat here often. Healthy, clean farm to table offerings that are tasty and filling. The environment is peaceful and relaxing. ”
“ A beautiful cafe restaurant with brunch foods in a corporate building surrounded by biotech companies. Seems like theres some space devoted for those that work there but mostly the rest of space is open to the public. The coffee is really good and its a great place to get some work done in a peaceful, quiet area. The outside seating is also really nice! ”
