Wence House California Cuisine

My husband and I had an absolutely delicious Brunch this afternoon! I ordered the Cowboy Omelet, and it was packed with steak cooked medium-rare just as requested, as well as bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and pepper jack cheese. The country potatoes were perfectly spiced, and the sourdough toast and little fruit salad were perfect accompaniments. My husband ordered the French toast combo with eggs over hard and said everything was great. We didn't have any adult libations this time, but their drink list was impressive. Our waitress was sweet and just the right amount of attentive. We will definitely be back!!

Wence House- Brentwood, CA This was my first visit. We went for lunch on Sunday and stayed until 3p. It's a quaint place with a few tables, booth seating, and a small bar inside; some additional seating outside. There's plenty of parking available. Our server Laura was very helpful in pointing out some of her favorite items and offering us recommendations. We had salads, fish & chips, pesto sea bass, and mango tea; berry crisp and creme brulee for dessert. The food was very tasty! I enjoyed every bite. 😋 It was a bit pricey; one of those trips I'll make for special occasions to try some of the other items on the menu.

I've been to this location on multiple occasions. My last visit was not the best one and may possibly be the last. I went there with my family for dinner, once we got there we were seated fairly quick, the place was not full, a few tables here and there but nothing to say it was overwhelming to the staff, the waitress took roughly 20 minutes to cone to our table and greet us, once we placed our food order the service was meh... the server was not attentive. She would bounce from table to table but would not come to ours.... after a while, we started receiving our food, my order was the last to arrive, though I was excited about it it came as a huge disappointment... I ordered the seafood pasta on which I was very excited about, but instead got a very eye-catching plate with very little to bland taste, the clams were not rinsed properly as I took some bites and got a grainy sandy aftertaste, the noodles were oily and lacking seasoning, after a few bites I gave up and shared my wife's plate instead when the waitress finally came to check up on us, I advised of my experience with the plate, in most occasions you would expect a replacement or something to substitute the meal but instead she took the plate and didn't return to our table until she brought the bill. To my surprise, the plate was still on the bill, in my experience if you're not satisfied with your meal its customary that it's taken off the bill but in this case it was still there, though the waitress never said anything she just dropped off the bill and walked away..... not a thank you, please come again... im sorry you didn't like your food ... just dropped off the bill and walk away.. not a place I want to visit or bring family and friends to. You want to go where you feel welcome at.

UPDATE: Came back over s year later for a date lunch and now adding a star. Everything was delicious -- fish tacos and California Benedict. We came here to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day, and I wanted fish tacos! The ambiance of the back porch area was very nice on a pleasant, warm evening. However, for the presentation of the place and the price, we expected tastier or larger portions. When you see a restaurant with smaller portions, we thought more taste, but was just like any good restaurant...food was just fine but portions slightly smaller for the price. Kids split the Fish & Chips and enjoyed it, but wasn't a very large portion. Hubs got Calamari Steak Sandwich, which they seemed to skimp on the calamari...he had to be strategic in his bites to spread bites of calamari across all of the bread. They should put equal portions of calamari on each half of the bread to make it fit better. He also got the caesar salad and really was pretty puny & tiny...I can get the same thing from a salad mix bag. Now I LOVED my fish tacos (got 1 grilled & 1 fried...fried was obviously tastier/less healthy)! Cole slaw, avocado, fish...all was delicious and tasted pretty fresh! Chips and "salsa"/taco sauce was fine...not much of a side but pretty standard. Added a house salad for $3 and recommend the house salad over the caesar. Service was just fine and everyone wore masks. Place seemed very clean! Not sure if we would return again, except maybe for the fish tacos...3 orders of fish tacos next time? Ehhh, that'd be pretty spendy for some to still be hungry after. ADDED PICS: Loved the salmon dish!

We've been meaning to try this for a while but due to so many bad reviews we kept putting this off but finally the wife and I went and enjoyed a very long dinner because they are very slow! The food was absolutely amazing not a single complaint but it took me 15 minutes to get a glass of water and probably an hour to actually get down to eating some food! But the staff was very nice and apologetic and sounds like the owners need to add another wait staff because it takes too long to eat here but the food is great!
