We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!

One of my favorite spots! The food is always great. Loved the grilled octopus appetizer, one of the best octopus dishes I’ve had! The meatloaf is so delicious and the fried chicken sandwich is a must! Absolutely beautiful ambiance!
