The atmosphere was welcoming and lovely! I loved the fresh flowers on the table. The food was amazing and enough for leftovers the next day. Very reasonably priced and their lemonade was amazing. -
Best Brunch Ever! I met a colleague here and had an incredibly delicious brunch. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a different experience for lunch. -
Etilio the waiter is so charming, friendly. He works hard to make sure you have a wonderful experience. The pan seared bass was amazing and crunchy and the curry and rice is so good. The portions are just right. The other wait staff also are very alert to finished dishes and clear them quickly
Everyone is working so hard I feel very inspired
I do not like the vegan cake but that's my own fault for ordering a vegan cake. -
This is one of the best places ever discovered! Food was 10/10. Design and decor were perfect. Service was spot on. Can't say enough about how awesome this place really is. Go check it out!! -
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and aesthetic of this place; many options in terms of seating indoor or outdoor. I got the crab burger and was not a huge fan, but I admire the craftsmanship. We had some great service, nice food, and nice vibes.
