I especially appreciate the restaurant's layout and the fact that the noise level was low. That enabled us to have a relaxed, quiet conversation without having to yell . . . like you have to do in many other restaurants. The food and service were excellent.

Met a girlfriend for girl time and to catch up. We had the crab beignets and deviled eggs as our starters- both excellent. I had the eggs Benedict and my friend had a burger with a side of pomme frittes for our mains. We both enjoyed our meals and never felt rushed by our server. Service was excellent. Will definitely will be back. If you haven’t been, give it a try!
