Had a chicken sandwich that came with nothing for $17, if you wanted fries or a side salad it was an additional charge. Had avocado toast you got two small pieces of toast for $15. It was beautiful and tasty. Just way overpriced.

The food and service was excellent. The appetizers were delicious. We celebrated a birthday there and the staff brought a very special desert with a candle. We never had an empty glass or a delay in service. Staff was very attentive. Will definitely go back.
