“Visited on a Saturday evening,without a reservation and it was understandably busy. We couldn't be seated for dinner so we opted for the bar but it was full (I know why!) So we walked around a bit had dinner elsewhere and returned about 1 hour later. Though it seemed to get busier, two seats at the bar freed up and we jumped in. It was totally worth the wait. The drinks were great! You can taste the craftsmanship in every drink. I'd definitely return, and this time with a dinner reservation.As a bonus, there was a live DJ and he was playing some good Spanish jams! (I was pleasantly surprised!). Can't wait to come back for another date night here.“

“I don’t know why this restaurant doesn’t have a line outside the door! The food is always delicious and fresh. The menu is small but PERFECT. They change things up slightly seasonally and I’ve never eaten anything there that wasn’t 10/10.“

“I love the vibes of this quaint, very French cafe - it just feels so authentic. Service is quick despite being fairly busy and the wide menu means you can always get something that you're craving. The food itself is pretty good but not particularly outstanding - for example, the croque madame sort of just fell apart from the softness of the bread and the wetness of the bechamel. However, the pastries look good and seem affordable - they're next on my list to try when I return!“

“We made a reservation for a Sunday lunch in advance and were seated inside, away from the cold.I had the lamb shank. It's a generous dish. It can be shared really. Same with most of their desserts. I had the chocolate mousse. It's very sweet and could go well with tea or coffee.I've tried their burger in the past which is pretty good too.“
