The food is delicious, the atmosphere comfortable and lively, but not noisy and the service was excellent. We loved our meal here (brunch) and will definitely be coming back! Good for vegetarians (lots of choices) and meat eaters alike. And for anyone who observes Halal, there was a lamb option (in addition to fish and veggie options).

Neighborhood gem. Loved ambiance. Corner seating for two not in view of fireplace. Waitstaff not spot-on. After food presented, no spoon for soup appetizer. No check-in at our table by waiter. Had to flag to be attended. Irrespective of poor service, as we were non drinkers and low tab, left generous 25% tip. I will attempt a booking again in spring and choose outside seating.
