    Always like their unique menu! My husband's tomato quiche was very good and I tried the chicken biscuit which sounds like a strange combination of flavors and ingredients but was delicious! The rosemary fries, a side, were crispy and very flavorful. I always enjoy dining there after visiting one of their special exhibitions.

    Very nice spot for brunch, lunch and I imagine for drinks. Food was tasty though it could have been hotter. Service was friendly though sometimes I had to wait a while to get my server's attention. I look forward to going back

    This is a perfect place for a nice lunch with friends where the conversation is as important as the meal. The clean modern decor is very pleasant, and the table spacing is also perfect for conversation. We had salads, one vegetarian and one with chicken, and both were very good. We were not rushed, and overall, enjoyed a very nice lunch.

    We enjoyed the Spring Pea Hummus, and each had different salads which were great. All the staff were conscientious and polite, in spite of entry seat being filled, we were well taken care of! Can't wait to go back.

    This restaurant is lovely. We had 6 people and everyone ordered something different. I am not kidding, every single person loved their dish. I had the mediterranean salad and it was delicious. Other hits were an awesome avocado, roasted tomatoe and bacon toast; quiche that were perfect and one of the most fabulous chicken biscuits I’ve ever seen. Run don’t walk.

    The waitstaff was incredibly unhelpful and neglected to clear our plates after our meal. We had to get up and retrieve the dessert menu before we could order dessert, but only after our waiter was found.
