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!!!

Very welcoming , excellent service . Fun , delicious , strong drinks. The menu has a nice variety , if it's your cup of tea the bone marrow appetizer was excellent, as well as the blue crab nachos. We all had beef , and each cut was cooked to perfection with the sauce to the side . A really nice dinner celebrating a birthday , desserts were solid too , banana foster is memorable.
