Our Take

Mission Bistro's eggs Benedict has developed the kind of quiet, word-of-mouth loyalty that only comes from actually getting the dish right, repeatedly. A bright and garden-adjacent setting rounds out a solidly charming brunch experience that's well-loved by the locals who keep coming back for it.
