A reservation for four (three on canes) at 1:30. Twenty-five minutes to be seated, then another fifteen for service. Very noisy (no one could hear across the table). Three ordered quiche, which seemed to be made days earlier. We won’t be back.

The menu was limited and very heavy with few options. The drinks were okay but that’s not why we went. We were seated outside but in the sun and it was hot with no relief, and we had to actively ask to be reseated in the shade. My salad had a fly in it, and they only had two single occupancy bathrooms for what seemed to be nearly 100 people in the establishment which created long lines for the restrooms. I would not recommend.

From the minute our host walked us to the table, the experience was like we were on a resort. The service was amazing. The unique cocktails and takes on comfort food were delicious and beautifully presented. And the price was incredibly reasonable.

As a frequent customer I was disappointed in the terrace menu, the quality of the food, and the value. The only thing left to offer us on the terrace was the view and I live nearby so that’s not as attractive to me and not worth the price gauging. Lots of changes to this restaurant overs the years, maybe it’s time I try something new as well.
