Our server was fantastic and the food was amazing like always. Love this little magical place. I wish you re-arranged the seating so 2- tops could sit in-front of the fire place. Also, I wish you had a manager running the host stand or a matri di. It’s a missed opportunity to build community.

What a great way to start our day! The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved the great playlist and overall atmosphere.
