I ordered the chopped chicken salad. $16) It had plenty of delicious chicken on it but very few other ingredients besides a ton of lettuce. I also got an iced tea. $3) No basket of bread or any other food was served on the side. Overall, it was a lackluster meal for the price. Might go back and try a different entrée. I liked sitting outside enough to give it another try. Plus it’s one of the few outdoor dining places that isn’t right on a busy street. A good thing.

Easily one of the worst meals I've ever had. Took a friend there for a birthday brunch.

She ordered a salad and it was so bad she didn't touch it after 2 bites. We were both disappointed. Our first clue that it probably wasn't going to be good was that it was empty at 11am on a Sunday. Good breakfast spots are packed at that hour. Go somewhere else.

The food was very good Risotto was excellent. But it was very noisy even though it was only 80% full. read more The food was very good Risotto was excellent. But it was very noisy even though it was only 80% full.

Our waiter was exceptional. He gave us lots of attention, helped us choose the right drinks, and answered questions about the menu.
