Every time we come to this restaurant, we are never disappointed. The food and service are always excellent. We try to work our way through the menu but it is too hard because we always love what we had the previous visit. Already planning a return trip.

A neighborhood gem. Patrons have 2 options for dining. A cafe side open for breakfast and lunch in a more casual setting with a nice patio with heaters and fans. Delicious offerings of fresh desserts that can be ordered to go or with sit down service along with a gelato station. The bistro side has a different menu, open for lunch and dinner. It's good for a business lunch or for just a more upscale ambiance.

The food was good, the service was great… but… it was SO cold. Uncomfortably cold. I don’t know why they didn’t have their heater going but it detracted from the experience.
