    None of the food we ordered was particularly good. We invited friends who are in the restaurant business and we noticed they barely ate anything. We were disappointed.

    Amazing food! It’s hard to rate the rest due to Covid and they have limited outdoor seating but no problem with a reservation.

    Amazing hoy chocolate. Best I had since I move back from Belgium. I had a salad and it was fresh, original and delicious. Very good with COVID protocols and great place to pick up chocolate gifts or to keep at home. The dark chocolate expresó beans are delicious!

    Cute little bistro but not particularly romantic. Enjoyed a very tasty hummus app and split the quiche. Tried a drinking chocolate which whole delicious was super heavy and filled us up. Maybe we will try that drink again in the winter time. One was plenty to share- we didn’t finish it because it was so rich. The server was very nice though clearly stretched thin taking care of all the tables and managing the register inside to their little market area. Will try again but for lunch rather than a Saturday date.

    Eclipse are doing their best in these COVID times. It’s a shame they don’t have more open air seats, but their food is still tasty and good value.

    Love this place. This was my 3rd or 4th visit, and it never disappoints. Fantastic flavors and unique combinations, it’s an adventure in food.
