I hate to be giving this restaurant a low rating as I had a wonderful experience here last November (2019) unfortunately my experience here this past Saturday (nov 7) was not the same. we were greeted by a very rude hostess, every single interaction with her was just awful, surprised someone like that would work in the service industry. Those encounters alone ruined our experience. Our male server however was great and friendly.

Especially lovely today with the sun shining on the patio. Always a pleasure to visit. Service is great. Menu creative and food prepared with love. Ricki rocks the patio... a one man show to be enjoyed.

Cool interior. Good brunch.

I heard a lot of good reviews about this place and so I had to go check it out and they did not disappoint! The fried chicken sandwich is soooooo good & if you like spicy, ask for their homemade hot sauce to go with the fries! Also, the giant cookie is one of the best I've ever had! I've also heard that the souk fries are really good but I haven't tried them. Just be aware that they close by 4pm on some days so check before you visit. Also, it is a small space so it gets quite full pretty fast.

Indoors and patio open. Great service. Good portions. Unfortunately they didn't have the french toast option which we were really looking forward to try after seeing pictures of it.

I came here for brunch and ordered the BLT benny. Overall there was nothing wrong with the food, but the eggs beedict tasted just average nothing too special. The potatoes were well seasoned and tasted good with ketchup/hot sauce on the side. Next time I come here I'll try the salmon rosti. I had a bit of my friend's salmon rosti and it tasted really good but the portion looked a bit small to me.The staff here are very friendly and the location itself is quite nice. We ate on the patio which was very cute and clean.

This was our second in restaurant dining experience since the pandemic began (been doing lots of home cooking and takeout!) and we had a great experience.All of the servers were wearing masks, there was a bottle of sanitizer when you first walk in to clean your hands and the tables were very physically distracted - it felt safe, which is appreciated.The restaurant itself was lovely, with tons and tons of plants everywhere - we sat right next to a living wall full of greenery and the space was nice and bright on the sunny afternoon we visited.While my hubby was lured in by pics of their fried chicken sandwich, it was sadly no longer on the menu so he opted for the smash burger instead. I chose the smoked salmon rosti.I let the server know I am expecting (poached eggs were served on top the dish), so he said no problem we can cook the eggs hard. Perfect!Both dishes arrived nicely presented and we loved our meals. The rosti on my plate was super crunchy, eggs were cooked perfectly (hard), the smoked salmon was light and super tender, and the creme fraiche and pickled onions offered a nice tang to the dish. Also loved the fresh dill and chives sprinkled on top - so good!Bae loved his burger, he said it was delicious and also loved their house made hot sauce - which was so good.Will definitely return again if in the area!

The food was AMAZING!! Every bite was mind-blowing and delicious. The ingredients used tasted very fresh! The menu has a lot of healthy options to choose from. We ordered the Pita Nosh, Breakfast Sandwich, Jerusalem Bagel, Cornflake Crusted French Toast and Coconut Chia Seed Pudding. The quality and quantity of food was perfect. Nice patio. Highly recommend!

Eco concious eatery with a small but varied menu. Brunch menu looks good too, recommend to anyone looking for a good meal.

Excellent patio space! The menu is a bit limited since the start of Covid, but even so, there are wonderful choices. The french toast is delectable, though I miss their shakshuka very much.

Really cute spot! Made reservations on their website which was so easy and you can pick whether you want indoor or outdoor seating!The menu is smaller, like most restaurants right now, but it was mostly burgers. Our server was friendly and funny. I heard the burgers and fries are awesome, but I'm on a fitness challenge right now and couldn't try them!BUT, they did have 2 salads and they were awesome. There was a Taco Salad and a Spicy Kale Caesar. Small, but good. Wish they had them in a larger size! Can't wait to come back and have a burger and fries tho!

Wonderful patio to come grab a drink and get some tan, but not worth grabbing a bite for sure. This beautiful establishment must have gotten hit hard this year and their dishes definitely took a beat on the way making it a less desirable experience. This was our #1 brekki spot on the east-side and really hoping that the team can get back on their feet doing what they love the most, decadent Mediterranean food and chill vibes :)

Nice patio, lots of umbrellas. Our server was super nice and very thorough with keeping everything clean. Food was great and the potatoes were amazing. Very unique things on the menu. Coffee/latte was very good.

Came here last Saturday morning got the first day of their patio opening for the season. There wasn't that many people at 11am, so was able to snag a table with an umbrella. Service was very prompt, and the staff were very friendly. I loved their summer cocktails, especially the gin smash. Not an extensive menu, but enough options for everyone to be happy. I ordered their French toast with a side of bacon. It doesn't look like your typical French toast, but it was delicious. Topped with ricotta cheese and crusted with cornflakes, this had such a light taste that wasn't overly sweet. It was perfectly done and well sized to keep me full most of the day, without feeling stuffed. My girlfriend got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and loved it. It is a touch pricey for brunch, but great quality ingredients and service. Lots of street parking, too! Can't wait to go back.
