    Went here for a quick coffee and dessert and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server was so kind and warm despite us coming in close to closing.

    Typical menu. Not overly impressive. They used to have an amazing Sunday brunch - Best I ever experienced - but for some strange reason (staff I questions had no idea) they discontinued it. Outdoor seating is very nice.

    The food and menu are traditional and prepared without any added presentation or creativity. Their secret sauce is the setting and location, making it a convenient spot to meet. Our dishes were all acceptable but unexciting.

    Great neighbor bar steeped in a city feel. Atmosphere and selective clientele are down to earth. A bar that can be frequented and enjoyed every time.

    This a good stop for a beer. Service is typically good and beer selection is good. Food is mediocre at best and could use some creativity.

    Great food and atmosphere. We love sitting at the bar. Their pizza is one of the best! They have live music on the weekends, which is fun. Good place for private parties as well.
