    Overly limited menu. Service was pretty good. Height difference between chair seat & tabletop was ridiculous - the table was almost at shoulder level. The food was good, but nothing special. We were there at 6:15, it was not at all busy, and they had already run out of soup.

    Food and service was good. Restaurant wasn’t very crowded, so it was quiet and pleasant to talk during dinner. Quick walk to Pioneer Center.

    Honestly I would not go back or recommend this place. I made a reservation through open table and when we showed up the hostess said they were closing. They did seat us but felt rushed to order and the food was overpriced and not very good. For the prices, you would think the ambiance would be better. It looks like a very basic, older cafe.

    Excellent ( actually amazing ) menu and food. Great staff. People have commented on the simple decor -- not really a negative because its clear the real effort is put into the menu and the ingredients. Cannot wait to go back! But if they put minimum decoration on the walls or floors I'll never be able to get a table!

    We made a reservation a week in advance. Got reso confirmed. Day of reso got another confirmation. Showed up at 6:30 for dinner only to find notes on front door saying that the restaurant was closed for maintenance/staff time off. Probably won’t be back
