Craig’s rocked as a weekend brunch place, but when I stopped by on any of the other five days in the week, I was usually the only customer. There’s a reason why there aren’t many lunch places in the West Mission; the people with jobs aren’t around for lunch, or on a nice day they’re at the park.

The Liberties can afford to lose money on lunch, because the restaurant service allows it to operate with a full liquor license. I don’t know why Craig’s never tried staying open later, because you won’t make your nut on two days a week, even when your dad owns the building.

True- hope Chicken John and Faye’s says it’s OK to open a business in the neighborhood!

Seriously, though, I got all excited when I read this because I though you were saying they were moving to the former Ebbtide Cafe (at 26th and South Van Ness). that is another cursed space that would benefit from a tasty breakfast tenant.

I heard (and I’m not sure if it’s true) that it’s the owner of that building who is trying to do all the failed restaurants there. I always thought the spot was cursed also, but maybe it’s just the owner.

I do. It was good. Best hash browns within 20 blocks. Not every single place needs to be a brunch place!

When I first moved to the area, one of the first things I saw was the mob of people outside Mission Beach Cafe. I assumed it was just another hipster hellhole cafe, but I was totally wrong. The brunch there is just awesome, and pretty reasonably priced.

Anyway, as a pescatarian, I totally approve of their new idea. Ebb & Flow wasn’t bad, but it was essentially the same concept as WFC just down the street. Let’s hope the folks behind Mission Beach can finally lift the curse.

It has been cursed by crap food most of the time, the pre-stabbing Platanos chef was my favorite food coming out of there…

“specialty desserts (across from Tartine??)”

I guess “come for Tartine, go across the street to avoid the 30 minute wait”?

Did they check with Chicken John and the owner of Faye’s to make sure that this is ok?
