Everything we ordered was delicious - it was hard to decide what to order. We went with the chicken broth, avocado tartine, French onion omelette, fried potatoes, golden latte and Manhattan cocktail. No regrets. Food came out quickly. Drinks took a little long. Very friendly and attentive server who clearly had tried everything and was spot-on with descriptions. Lovely clean and crisp and comfortable environment. Will be back again to try other items.

it is a lovely restaurant with large windows and high ceilings - perfect for a sunny day. Arrived at 10am for brunch. Noise level was tolerable at that time, but by just after 11, it was impossible to hear my companion across the table. French onion omelette was very good - come all by itself with no greens or side at all. I add on a biscuit for $3 which was only ok (they were sold out of croissants). Menu was lacking in pastries for a brunch for my taste. Waiter was very good. I am reluctant to go back because of the noise. I wish they would add some sound deadening panels.

We liked our food very much, but it’s really loud! Really hard to have a conversation at a 4 top table. We’ll come back though…

Referred by a friend. Brought the family for brunch. Opened 3 months ago and running like a well oiled machine. Tasty selections, attentive service. We’ll be back.

The food is terrific, but be warned unless you buy a 10.00 French press (about 4 cups in the press), there is no “regular coffee” with refills available. Only the specialty one cup type. This is a deal breaker for me. I love my coffee in copious quantities. When I asked about this I was told that they want to provide an “upscale” experience and refillable coffee cups don’t fit their vision. Well, as I told them, I would not be back for this reason alone. Too bad, they have lost a customer that eats out at least once a week with a friend. I hope they make it, but I guess I’m not upscale enough…
