Beautiful spot on 17th Ave for a connect with friends. Service was fantastic and the manager also stopped by to see how things were going. Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. Chili mussels with ciabatta were perfect, but burgers and fries were underwhelming. Dry bun, cold fries. Greek salad should not have been served...

The food was very good, and our waiter was funny and very attentive. Only issue we had was the restaurant was full, lively chatter, which is what we expected, but the music was also loud, so it was hard to hear the guests we had with us. Other than that, top notch place for brunch.

Our server was awesome. Food was over priced. Atmosphere was fantastic. My truffle fries were underwhelming and cost too much & they were cold. We had the best server though.
