We really enjoyed the beef bourguignon and risotto. We also had the crepe suzette for dessert. The server was very friendly, the tables are placed far enough apart that we had privacy. The space has a cozy vibe. The drinks were also very good.

The food, quality, and lack of selection were very disappointing. They did not even have orange juice for mimosas and no tomato for avocado toast. I had avocado toast, my husband had waffles, and my nephew had the full breakfast. The food was mediocre as was the service. Our bill totaled $100 and we felt totally ripped off. We will not be back.

The food was very good but the service was awful. Waiters were slow to get to our table and there were only two other tables occupied. I won’t be back.

Service wasn’t very attentive. Hostess and waiter both took too long to acknowledge us. They just needed to look up and around to notice guests were waiting. Food was great but service could definitely use some work.
