    First visit for my friend. We both enjoyed the food, the unhurried pace, the pleasant atmosphere fostered by the helpful staff. With no unhappy reactions to the food (yippee) we had a delightful luncheon.

    server was sort of grumpy and took her time getting back to us. food was prepared quickly and she as tasty. eagles were having a pep rally in the Comcast building, so it was quite loud in the atrium. We did take a flat weight to go and that was delicious.

    We came here for a family lunch after the holidays. The ambiance and service are wonderful! It felt so peaceful sitting looking at trees while inside and the lighting is amazing. Servers were excellent. The menu is interesting, but small. Plenty of choices for lunch. My only complaint is the portions were pretty small. Average cost per person if you add a protein to your salad or get a warm drink is $35ish with tip.

    The woman who sat us was a bit rude. The restaurant was empty and I asked to sit at a four top with a nice view. She would not let us sit there and said we had to sit at a table for two because the four tops were all reserved for four people. A half hour into our meal they seated two people at the four top where I had asked to sit. There were plenty of tables for two available. I did not understand why they did not accommodate my polite ask to sit at that four top. The food was good but not outstanding. Not worth the price. The best thing was the beautiful ambiance. The person who seats people needs to learn to be kinder and more welcoming.

    A perfect experience, beginning with the ease of making the reservation. The location is great, the access easy and the ambience very upscale and inviting. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The hostess was exceptionally courteous and the servers were friendly as well. The coffee was excellent; we did not have time to try the food but the menu and food looked great. The perfect venue for a casual business meeting, as the tables are not crowded together and it is surprisingly quiet. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and touch-free. Two of the three people in our party were able to be on the Suburban Station platform within minutes of leaving the coffee bar and on our way home. I will definitely recommend it highly and return as well.

    It’s a hidden gem in the city the building is beautiful and the coffee shop is very smartly decorated, and you feel like you’re in a treehouse Everyone that works there is wonderful, professional and very accommodating. Nice luncheon variety and wonderful pastries and cakes and breads. Coffee’s also perfect it’s a very nice getaway in the city, so so great for a business meeting as well as a friend to get together.

    Nice experience overall but food was a bit disappointing. Soba salad with shrimp was served very cold, so rather congealed. Shrimp were overcooked and over-refrigerated so they were tough and chewy. Dish was much better when it warmed up to room temp.

    This seems to have become the birthday lunch venue of choice. We nearly always choose the avocado mushroom grain salad, but this time I chose the grilled octopus from the prix fixe menu while my other two friends added an egg to the usual salad. Again, delicious as always. And topped with the raspberry dessert with three spoons. Very yummy.

    Nice and cool on a steamy hot business day. Excellent service. Menu is a bit weird and my salad with gobs of Melted cheese was just too heavy. Overpriced as well for the limited food on the plate..

    The food is excellent. We had the Market Menu Prix Fix Menu. The Burrata was served with a fresh apricot compote, The second course was fresh cod baked in parchment. Outstanding! Dessert was apricot pana cotta. One of the best meals I have ever had. Service is outstanding and ambiance is quiet. I highly recommend.
