Upon arrival, they had my reservation ready and seated us within five minutes, despite it being moderately crowded. Instead of traditional menus, you scan a QR code with your phone. The waiter came to our table in under five minutes to take our drink orders. I opted for a coconut and pineapple cocktail, which was light and not overly large, but I really enjoyed it. For my meal, I ordered the Shrimp and Polenta, which was delicious but quite rich with butter, so be prepared for that! The shrimp were large, with slices of sausage and cooked tomatoes mixed in. My daughter chose the Chicken Parmigiana. Although one edge of the battered chicken breast was slightly burnt, she said it was generally good and would order it again. For dessert, we had a wonderful selection. She ordered the crème brûlée while I chose the tres pot de crème, which was similar to crème brûlée but topped with a chocolate ganache and a salted caramel sauce. It was indulgent and absolutely delightful, complete with adorable whipped cream flowers on the side — a nice touch from the chef! Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening with fantastic food and attentive service. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place.

We came for brunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and I simply couldn't resist trying the Loco Moco. The fries were excellent, and the tri-tip sandwich was tender and delicious. The menu was somewhat limited, which I assume is due to the impacts of COVID. The service was fantastic. I'd love to try a few more dishes before I consider giving them 5 stars.

First surprise was to see a really nice bar with a whiskey menu, which is extensive, diverse and fairly accesible. The food was tasty and of good portion. We sat in the patio area. They had tons of heaters and were nice to turn them on for us. Service was great and it seemed all patrons were having the same quality of service. Inside of the place is nicely decorated. Overall, well deserving of a visit.

Great value for “artistic” food. Seems like every ho hum cafe has jacked up their prices so $17 for a lamb burger with truffle fries is completely worth it. Steak Potatoes is my wife’s favorite and it too is only $17. Then there’s the $9 Dessert “Triple Pot De Cream”OMG! When the weather is good outside seating is available which is a big plus. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. I’d give ‘em five stars if they carried Perrier or Pellegrino, gotta have the carbonated water option at a fancy food restaurant!
