    Excellent all around. Savory chanterelles with pasta dish went well with other starters. Drinks well described and delicious. Appreciate the flow of conversation enabled by the sound panels in the ceiling.

    We sat outside, so there was some street noise, but we enjoyed the European cafe feel. Our server was really friendly, attentive and helpful with her food descriptions. We munched on warm herbed rolls and decided to order The Thor as a nod to my friend’s Norwegian heritage. It was a trio of Scandinavian apps including pickled herring, smoked salmon and a pork pate. Everything tasted very fresh and went well with our second first course choice, the baked goat cheese crepe served with a tasty green salad, sugared walnuts and shaved Parmesan cheese. The two dishes were plenty for lunch, but we still had room for the chocolate pots de crème served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Excellent in every way, we will be back to try the French onion soup and intriguing main courses next time!
