Found this cute place from an IG post and thought we would give it a try. It was definitely Insta-worthy! Super cute (the staff and the place) and the food was amazing. Get the milk bread you won’t be sorry! Loved The Peach Bellini as much as my Fancy French Toast! My beauties and the Shrimp and Congee and raved about it!

Amazing food, terrific waiter. Frustrated that although we booked standard tables they insisted on seating us at a high table which didn’t work for my elderly parents. The low tables remained open until 5 minutes before we left. Not great.
