    Went for dinner : The Ceviche was spectacular, as was the Salmon and Falafels. The deserts were also quite good. The prices were reasonable as well. I will try it again for Breakfast and Brunch. The Bar service was correct, but SLOW, and the wait staff was UNDERSTAFFED.

    Really good wagyu steak frites and wagyu tacos. We also tried the hummus which was really good and the lettuce wraps. I was surprised to like the lettuce wraps that had a lot of mushrooms, which I don’t like that much, but the way they were seasoned had me liking them. Staff was friendly and attentive.

    This is a lovely restaurant which works well for getting a before play dinner since it's a short drive from Bass Concert Hall. Their service is a bit more relaxed than suits me, since it makes me a little anxious about finishing a great dinner and leaving so that we have plenty of time to get parked and walk over to the play. This is our 2nd visit for such an occasion and both times the food offerings have been intriguingly delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was again quite lovely and very conducive to conversations. We tried parking in the City Hall parking since it validates at any time of day, but it is not as convenient as the AMLI parking garage on 2nd, which only validates parking until 4. We'll definitely return in the future. Thanks, Cathy Martin

    Always a great experience! Fresh, flavorful, and healthy gluten-free options that never disappoint. The coconut curry squash with chicken and waygu were delicious, and the drinks were refreshing. Friendly service and a perfect spot for to take the family.
