- AAgent210San Francisco Bay Area •13 reviews5.0Dined on 11 July 2020It was so nice to be back after it being closed for months. The sangria was fantastic. I have never had it with white sparkling wine but it was so refreshing. My friend and I could have stayed all day but we had to return to our lives. The cauliflower peppers were also very tasty. Brunch is a great time to go, not that crowded. Look forward to going back soon.More infoTown$$$$• American• San Carlos•4.5
