    I went with my friends for a fun brunch day. Food was very good! We unfortunately got there at a shift change so it took quite a while for our drinks and food. They were also training 2 new people in kitchen. So overall, it was nice but would like to have quicker service if we go again :)

    We had the soft shell crab benedict, chicken and waffles, steamed kampachi fish, and a burger with fries. Everything was terrific and our server, Mikael was amazing. We appreciated his food recommendations and his service was exemplary. We will definitely request his section in the future if possible.

    Although we were about 20 minutes early we were seated after a few minutes wait. Our server Ryan N appeared & took our order since we already knew what we wanted- mushroom risotto and garlic chicken and mochi waffle with one coffee. The food came within 10 minutes and was the right temperature and attractively presented. The food was tasty although the chicken was a tad too salty for me. Ryan checked on us periodically and brought a coffee refill without being asked. We ordered mango sorbet for dessert & got 3 nice sized scoops which was refreshing. The noise level which was initially energetic went down after 130 when most of the crowd left. It was an enjoyable lunch and we will be returning soon.

    Service attendant makes a difference. The last two times we had lunch there, the service attendant was warm, friendly, and customer-oriented. Today, not so much. Our water was not refilled, and no one asked, "Is everything OK?" We usually get that query mid-way through our lunch. And, the noise level was unforgiving. Negatively affects the ambience.

    Our experience was fantastic. We excellent service and the food exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend the arancini, risotto, and chicken and waffles. My son had the kid pasta and loved that was well. After eating solid portions, we could not resist the dessert menu. Banana bread pudding serving with mango sorbet was a delightful end to a wonderful meal. The kids enjoyed the gelato, which come with 3 small but solid scoops. Overall would highly recommend stopping at this quaint spot!

    We haven't been in a long time, but our waiter, Michael, knew who I was from past visits. That was cool. He went to school with my son.

    The dinner menu is slender, but has a nice array of choices. We started with the french fries and ordered them extra crispy - they were perfect. However, my "beet salad" was more like beet croutons...there were small bits of beets. The salad was mostly orange wedges and radish so really, it should have been called "orange and radish salad." The pesto pizza we ordered was bland. I almost NEVER salt my food at restaurants, this necessitated a dusting of salt. The crust was also cracker-like so there's that. And the ube pave dessert appeared old as it was a bit dried out. The flavor was "meh" so the recipe should be re-worked. I try not to waste food, but we ended up wasting almost the entire dessert. [My friend ordered a salad and I did not try it.] Other than the fries, the rest of my choices were not suited for my expectations. The service was good, not attentive, but friendly so I'll take that. The ambiance was nice and the restaurant was brimming with guests as the night moved on. All-in-all, it was a pleasant experience, but since I dine at restaurants to eat and the food was sub-par, we won't be back anytime soon. Bummer.
