    Was seated right away after arriving a few minutes early for my reservation. The host was so kind. Our server was busy but nice. It was very busy before our theater show so we were a bit rushed for dinner because it took a while to get main courses but every dish was delicious. I would definitely go back for happy hour or dinner or Whiskey Wednesdays. Great location and helpful staff

    This tiny place is very pleasant, especially at the far back overlooking the courtyard, but accent on the “tiny”. Glad I had reserved a table for a friend’s birthday celebration. We enjoyed our choices of pastry, though I would have liked more true cake choices (only one, dark chocolate.) the cappuccino was good. Glad we checked this place out, and it’s right next door to my favorite P.O.S.H. store. Two good places on the same visit.
