Established in 1959, owners Jenny Youll and Mike Sabina expanded the once small coffeehouse of St. Michaels Alley into this intimate dining establishment in 2009. The restaurant provides three comfortable spaces for a dinner out with friends, date night, or a complete private event. The main dining room is wood paneled and intimate. The front room / bar area is more casual and social, yet still offers tables with linens and the full menu. The solid wood bar is a favorite dining spot for many of the regulars and locals. A beautiful outdoor patio is most enjoyable on warm summer days and nights as it open to the sky. Enjoy a cocktail at the full bar before venturing into one of the upscale and relaxed dining spaces of St. Michael's Alley.The restaurant is currently offering the Autumn Menu on the Patio as well as takeout, Tuesday through Sunday starting at 5pm.

    Our dinner and service was outstanding from start to finish. A gracious greeting from our server offering us a varied menu with tempting specials. We dined in a lovely, quiet room not bothered by loud music or noisy patrons We started with a nice kale salad and followed with scallops and the duck special -- both tasty, attractive and perfectly prepared. We finished with hot coffee and an excellent tiramisu. Very reasonably priced for the quality of everything we received
