    It's a great space to host a small group of friends for brunch. The food was good and the portion size was good as well. I would definitely come back.

    Air conditions not working. American cheese in a French omelet? Could not put kimchee on the side of huevos rancheros?

    The mussels were a big disappointment esp for that price point. The deconstructed cheesecake was better.

    The service is extremely slow coupled with very small dishes that took extremely long to come out of the kitchen.
