                                  Beautiful location and ambience. The happy hour prices didn’t appear on our bill so we paid full price without noticing. Portions were small. My husband was very disappointed with his smash burger. Great location, great decor but the food wasn’t awesome

                                  We had a Sunday brunch that was terrific. I chose the restaurant because it was the first I found Downtown or Midtown that would reserve a table. Yay for that! Brioche French Toast had a grand presentation and flavors to match. Noise level in the "porch" was low enough to allow easy conversation. Our server was attentive and took our table banter in stride. Overall a very good experience. We will be back.

                                  The food was delicious but service was a bit slow but good. We enjoyed all that we ordered. We had the scallops but there were only 3 and a very small amount of rice. Definitely a place where you need to have appetizers and dessert or you will be hungry later. We ordered the calamari and potatoes with leek as our appetizers. Both were delicious. One of our guest had the burger which he commented on how delicious the brioche bun tasted. Another of us had the Carbonara and it, too was good. For dessert, we had the molten lava cake and it was yummy.

                                  Yvette was amazing and the dj was a nice touch. Food was delicious. We had the Short rib and avocado toast. The spicy bloody Mary is serious and includes a fresh jalapeno slice, as it should. Can't suggest enough.
