Great atmosphere for a date night! The jazz band really set the mood. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner before a stage play. They could use extra staff seating people as there was a lineup even if you had reservations.

We went for brunch in Christmas Day. Hot, robust coffee brought out fresh. Good variety of pastries, omelettes and hot sandwiches. Graciously served, unhurried, and everything was served hot. And a crazy good value.
