    The ambiance was charming--cute, flowery, and very girly. However, the service was extremely slow. The starters were decent, but the entrées took almost an hour to arrive and were cold by the time they reached us. My chicken sandwich was soggy, and the chicken lacked any crispiness. The steak, which was ordered medium, had a burnt exterior. No one checked in to ask how our food was--likely because they already knew it wasn't good.

    This was our first time here- everything was delicious! The fries were literally the best I’ve ever had. The fondue was so fun and so delish. Thanks for a great experience!

    The food was delicious! the brunch French toast was soft on the inside and had a wonderful caramelization on the outside. Of course the crème fraiche was divine. We also had the crepes and egg sandwiches which were both great. The bechamel and aioli were perfectly paired.

    Great experience for brunch today. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the brulee’d french toast for dessert! The space in the restaurant is very tight. The only recommendation I have to make the space comfortable for all.
