    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.

    Our waiter Damian was exceptional and went the extra mile! We were on a time frame and he managed the meal perfectly. It was my friend’s bday and he made the lunch special for her - which was greatly appreciated. Then, he ran to my car as I left my credit card behind. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Damian treated us!
