    I came with a friend for lunch during the week. I started with a Bloody Mary which was perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. I’ve had it here before. I got their salmon with lentils. I’ve gotten it before as well and I absolutely loved it. It was perfectly cooked. I asked for some bread and they brought two delicious hot rolls with butter. Yummy. I finished with a latte and it was also excellent. The food was absolutely excellent. The service also was excellent. We had a very pleasant friendly young female waitress.

    First time here and loved it. Food was excellent, atmosphere was bright and lively. Mr Stern made a point of coming around to each table to see how we were doing. Honored our reservation on time. Loved the little touch of putting a tiny light in each drink to make them glow. Brunch menu had a wonderful assortment to choose from. Only down side…slightly pricey for the amount of food you get. But I do understand food prices are out of control. And it was noisy, we sat next to a birthday party of ladies that certainly enjoyed themselves. Not the restaurants fault, just made it difficult to carry on a conversation. We would definitely return.
