I am absolutely updating my review of this place since i no longer go here due to several bad experiences. I feel like perhaps the management changed or they sold the restaurant because so much changed, they no longer have the pastries and delicious coffee, food is less than sub par, either under or over cooked, staff isn't as professional, it's pretty much become a banquet hall of sorts for events. After several bad experiences (food being flavorless, undercooked, taking forever to get our orders...) we eventually stopped going. When they first opened their doors, we were so excited to finally have a cute cafe and delicious food for dinner... as time passed the quality and service deteriorated. Disappointing to say the least.

Service and food were exceptional. Drinks were consistent and tasted great. My waitress Clara was very attentive and made sure everything went great! I will go again

Let me start with the positive, the service was good everyone was kind and the chicken Piccata is AMAZING very citrusy and juicy chicken. The negative is that I went with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon and the place was pretty empty so I would think service would be quick however that was not the case. Our food took quite some time to be ready. Then when the food arrived my pasta had a hair in it which I get errors happen, but this just made the wait even longer to have another dish made and replaced. My friend got the spicy chicken sandwich and the flavor was good, but the chicken was super dry. I really wanted to like this place, but overall it was only okay.

The food is delicious but the service is horrendous. The staff arent attentive. You have to flag them down just to get water. I was so excited to eat here since it's so cute. I gave them a few tries before posting this review but they just seem it miss the mark. If you're coming here just be aware that you'll be waiting a while for service

I booked a reservation (for 3 people) about a week in advance for my mom's birthday. When we walked in, we were surprised to see no other patrons in the place. The guy in the front (possibly the owner) asked us if we were there for the birthday party. I said, we're here for my mom's birthday and he looked at us like we had 6 heads. He obviously didn't realize that one of his staff booked customers other than the private birthday party taking place on the back patio. He asked us if we wanted to sit in the ambience-free, empty restaurant in front. We said, we were hoping to sit on the back patio where it's a much more pleasant atmosphere. He wouldn't accommodate us. We wouldn't stay.

I can't comment on the food but I can make a review on the experience. As soon as I got there, I felt very uncomfortable or even welcomed. A waiter just looked at me weirdly and said I could sit anywhere. I was ready to take my order but no one was available even after 10mins. I got up and left to go to another place.

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon for a nice lunch. They have a beautiful patio and nice seating inside. However, there were Very few servers around. Then we were given the Brunch code. The selection was very limited on the Brunch menu. At first the waiter insisted they were only serving Brunch but when I pointed out that other tables were having items not on the menu then they gave us the "All day" menu with more offerings. They said they do not have a drink menu at all. Have you heard of that? No drink menu or a list of drink items listed anywhere. The servers just look like they don't care. Someone on another table canceled their order and left. Too bad because the actual food is so delicious. We ordered Avocado Toast, citrus salad, and the branzino plate. I blame it on the staff, very poor service. We waited for the check even longer than the food. At the end we got up and stood by the counter to pay and leave. I also want to mention the Ladies bathroom stall was out of toilet seat liners and there was a hair on the sink.

I went here with a friend last weekend and I felt that the menu was small and the service was okay. It's really cute in there though

I would HIGHLY recommend you to NOT come here. We waited for her 1 hour and 15 mins for our food, which didn't come. A table that came after us GOT THEIR FOOD AND FINISHED before us. The waitress said that there's an event and the chef is just preparing for it, but that's no excuse for a table that came after us to get their food while we never received it. The restaurant was empty besides a few tables and they also got their food; but busy at all. The event didn't even start when we were there and by the time we left still wasn't there. If you're going to have an event but still have people come in, then plan better. They actually said the best available reservation was for 1:30, so we made a reservation and came then, yet we had to wait so long. While we waited for that long, we got a mocha (no mocha flavor in it at all) and a layered latte which is a crazy ton of chocolate on the bottom. This was more mocha than the mocha we actually had. Lack luster drinks for a pretty expensive price. Pretty sure the waitress or the chef forgot about our order and we asked and she said they're working on it now- another 20 mins pass and we're STILL waiting. We went to ask again about the food and she said "5-10 minutes" which means it was another 10 mins. We eventually just had to leave and we still paid for our drinks .. the waitress apologized for the wait but gave the excuse again that they were busy, but didn't really seem sincere. No offer to even discount the drinks or anything. Decorations are okay; they have flowers to make it very insta-grammy. The bathroom also was a mess; no soap so someone put hand sanitizer but the hand sanitizer was broken. The paper towels were wet as well. Would NEVER go again; you're better off waiting in line for Porto's 2 blocks away for a cheaper price, most likely better food, 100x better service, and you know they're working on your order at 100x the speed.
I was a little worried seeing some of the negative reviews here but my experience was actually really good! I also thought this place was one of those restaurants that looked good for Instagram but had bad food - I was wrong! Came here for brunch and I got the mushroom omelette which came with a small side salad and my partner got the seafood rigatoni. Both were really delicious and flavorful. Hope they expand their menu a bit or make it a little more creative in the future. Service was also great. Our waiter was funny and attentive, and checked back regularly. Parking available at the side of the restaurant.

It's a very nice welcoming atmosphere. The food was good and so were the drinks. It's not very busy like the other brunch places . The waitress was very nice very attentive to . I highly recommend this place . We had an amazing brunch and would come again .
Josie S.
Well this place is super cute and the servers were really nice! The only draw back was that it took almost fifty minutes to get our food. Bear believe we got our food we scarfed it down! It was delicious though. During brunch it's bottomless mimosas, just make sure you ask them to fill your glass because they'll only put a little bit under half the glass haha! Great brunch place to be with your pals.

The decor is amazing and beautiful to look at. I appreciated the big back porch area which was private and nice. But the food wasn't something special to write about. The service was not great and we had to keep asking for stuff.

I've been here a couple times for brunch and enjoyed the service and food. Last night was the first time I booked a reservation for my birthday dinner (a fairly large party of 11 and a child). The server was attentive and friendly, but I was disappointed because two of my guests had their entrees arrive 25 min later than the rest of the party's :( luckily they were held up on appetizers but I don't think that's right. We had to chase down the kitchen to follow up about the delay. Eventually the food came, but with no apology, so that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
