Went for Brunch and it was SO GOOD! The seasonal omelette was the best omelette I’ve ever had. I ordered a mimosa and it was a generous size. The restaurant is super cute and I will definitely be going back for brunch soon!

Great food and waitress was well versed (and made good recommendations) on the wine list. Highlights include the broccoli, maitake mushroom tempura coconut rice, and the branzino. The strip steak was ok...the tasted and ate more like a loin cut rather than a strip cut. Ambiance was great...good light levels and not too noisy. Will definitely be back!

I love this place. The atmosphere is modern cabin; it’s neighborhood friendly; the staff is great and the food is veggie friendly and tasty. It’s not a scene

This place consistently outperforms. Best salads I've ever had, imaginative menu, well-executed steaks and pastas, always with an original take. I like to sit in the small outdoor courtyard.

Menu was good, but my burger was not medium rare it was medium and I hate a burger that's medium. I guess I could give better numbers as the wine menu was interesting although if you're going to have such unique wines, you should have more than 3 types to offer by the glass. Sitting on the lower level with the kitchen above me, was awful with the light of the kitchen so much brighter than the rest of the place. It can definitely work out the kinks and I hope it does soon since it's within walking distance to my house.
