    We enjoyed trying items on the new Spring 2025 menu. The Koji bread is a must! Get with just the butter or the “plate” with a variety of spreads. The Eggplant Kofta is excellent (tasted like falafel), but the Heirloom Carrots needed bit more cook time. The runner beans that come with the duck are outstanding! And of course the pie - we had the classic Salt & Honey it’s simple yet rich and creamy, and the Lemon Raspberry creamy and light perfect for spring in a delicious crunchy pistachio crust. Our server was excellent - friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. It is noisy, especially in the front room, but that adds to the vibrancy.

    My only wise is that the music wasn't so loud. The volume made conversation difficult, but we will certainly go back.

    All around great experience. Just remember to ask for the pie menu first so you can plan your meal around dessert ❤️
