UPDATE -- ALERT!! -- Somethings gone wrong at Everett Street.  Our last visit was a BIG disappointment.  We ordered the Wild Mushroom Scramble with Leeks and Chèvre. What we got was a half empty plate. The potatoes looked and tasted like the hash browns you get in a little paper bag at McDonalds. There were maybe 8 bites of eggs and one very dry piece of toast.  When we asked The Server what was up--she smiled sarcastically and said they were reducing the size of their servings--and that she would report our concern.  We can no longer give this, once wonderful, restaurant a strong recommend.  We hope this was just a fluke ... but buyer beware--and we will not be back if this happens again.    

* Comments of Decor -- stylish Pearl Place, with tall ceilings, lots of tile. It is on the smallish side so the tables are kind of close together.
* The Food Was --This place is soooo good it is hard to praise it enough.   It is a dream eatery.  The menu offerings could be called more sophisticated then some places: it is a little bit French-i-fied.  It left us all wanting more, both because it was delicious, and because the serving size is a little bit little.  If you quest after a perfect potato your search is over. The coffee was so good you could just sniff it and be happy. A couple menu favorites are the Chorizo and Egg Scramble and the Spinach and Parm Scramble. But we bet you can't find anything that isn't good at this place!  
* You Ought to Try -- everything --but you'll need to bring lots of dollars with you to do that.  It is a little bit more expensive than some other places.
*The Service Was -- fine --they kept the coffee cups full.
* Of special note - you can pick up goodies at the counter on the way out -- Plus we've gone here for dinner too...and, good news keeps on coming--the food is just as good at night.
* We will go back?  As often as possible
