    This was our first visit to this location and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! It started with the warm and friendly greeting when we walked in the door. The server was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. It's such a lovely place - cozy and inviting without feeling pretentious. I can't believe we've been missing out. We'll definitely return soon!

    Food was good as always but service was extremely slow and just bad. She was so slow that another server had to come bring check. Never even asked if we needed anything else- drinks , desert or the check. Also tip option on machine only offers 20% or 25%. Not happening with that level of service

    The food was very good and reasonably priced. However the dining room was very small. The tables were also very small and close together. There were 4 people at our table and barely enough room for plates and glasses. The tables were practically on top of each other. It felt like your personal space was being invaded by the guests at the tables adjacent to you. We could hear the conversations of tables around us and I am sure they could hear us as well. We very uncomfortable throughout our meal.

    We had a reservation for 7:30 and upon arriving the hostess immediately started apologizing because our table wasn’t ready. She indicated they had spoken to the table - and they would be leaving soon. I appreciated her addressing the situation and wasn’t bothered by a little wait. But we didn’t end up being seated till 8:10. Then it appears the waitstaff didn’t know we had been seated? Or it wasn’t communicated? We didn’t get a drink till around 8:20. The food was excellent as it always is but I was disappointed with the inattentive waitstaff.

    Excellent food, drinks and service as always. The crispy chicken caesar salad was very flavorsome and the cafe burger and beyond burger fans at the table were happy and satisfied. Service by Jonathan was great as usual. Just a really nice place for good food, cocktails and conversation.
