    This was our second time to the cafe. It is soooo nice to finally eat out and get healthy , delicious, real food cooked to perfection and served artistically. All I can say is I feel restored and fully nourished. FINALLY, someone who knows how to make a PERFECT salad! The ingredients were unusual, complementary, fresh and dressed to perfection. Wait staff are alert, considerate, helpful and professional. We will definitely return. Wish there was something similar closer to our home in Wilson. Keep up the excellent work

    The afternoon tea was delightful (albeit pricey). Among the diners it was fun to see moms and their well behaved children dressed to the nines having tea there. The three plate tower of food- savory, sweet and scones was enough for a meal- actually more than a meal. There were about 35 people at 3 PM on a Friday afternoon. The was little noise, just quiet conversation.
