The place is very cute inside and has a fun vibe. However the service we had was very bad. The food and drinks were ok but a bit pricey.

I found the meal to be hit or miss. I had the brussel sprout salad. I added salmon that was cooked to perfection and the poached egg added a nice element. However, there was a vinegar element missing from the dish.
