    Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

    All the food was mediocre. Not bad, but nothing special. Tip app was “fixed” to 20% inclusive of tax (or more!).
