Elevated and palate pleasing menu offerings, like the lemon ricotta pancakes and the tahini lentil salad with added grilled chicken! Some of the dishes come with many different sides (like oatmeal, toppings, bread, fruit) making it a complete family meal. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They are super nice and patient with my toddler, and always throw in an extra little side or crayons etc when he engages with them <3. It's very sweet AND keeps him requesting for us to go there lol“
