Amazing restaurant, the Chef, Danelo is fabulous. We tried every dish and every appetizer and it was all amazing. We had a party of 12 had to make reservations. It is a very small restaurant with big taste. This place will not disappoint. Great friendly service. A+ in my book.

Appetizers were good. Mains were ok. Had to ask for wine with main course. Value was mediocre+

Fancy, good food but expensive and extremely slow. Be prepared to wait an hour for the food even when restaurant is half empty. A lot of staff running around but food coming out from kitchen slowly. Appetizers are expensive and tiny so prepare drinking water for an hour.

So noisy from the large center table..kids yelling, playing some kind of computer game on a laptop, adults talking very loudly. Food is nicely presented, unusual ingredients, somewhat limited menu, open kitchen, decent wine list. The noise level ruined our experience...it was like sitting in a Chuckie Cheese.

We came in at 8:45pm and waited about 5 minutes behind a customer paying . Server told us last seating was at 8:45pm and she couldn’t seat us. Restaurant seats probably 60 and there were 3 tables with 15 people total.. this is Saturday night. They said we could order take out. I asked to speak to the manager and he was not nice. He said if they sat us food would take over an hour.. but take out was ok? Clearly a bunch of staff who want to get home.. we got our take out order and they left out the scallops and gave us the wrong side dish. Good thing we checked it. will never come here again and will surely let all of our friends in town to do the same.

We waited 40 minutes for food to arive and when we asked what was going on they said they are understaffed and didn't tell us before we sat down. And then they told us it is another 15 min wait, horrible service.

Excellent meal and service. Good portions for the price.

We were passing through, and i found this place through google. I ordered some breakfast burritos, and they were amazing. The chef lady that prepared the burritos made sure the chorizo and potatoes were nice and crispy, and after she rolled them, she made sure to grill them on the griddle. Highly recommend and will most likely come back again as long as the same chef is preparing my food.

The preparation of the food, ingredients sourced locally and overall experience was terrific. Someone had recommended it to me a while back and now I know why. Alexis is just the right balance of relaxed and attentive. We’ll be back!

I usually rate restaurants based on food (2 out 5 stars) but for service and atmosphere let’s make it a 3.

We were happy to see a super compact menu on dinner, usually a sign that the dishes would be carefully executed…both plates were really poorly made..

During breakfast the 1 cook and 1 attendant were really overwhelmed and it took very long for a below avg food.

Just avoid if you can.

Breakfast was good, had the French toast and a side of eggs. Quiet spot, not overly crowded. Ideal for fueling up before hitting the slopes for the day!

We visited this place two days in a row for breakfast. On our first visit, the experience was fantastic—the dishes were delicious, and the flavors were excellent.

However, when we returned the next day (Monday) and ordered the same menu items, everything was completely different. The recipes, portions, and food quality had drastically changed. For example:
• The grilled potatoes from the previous day were replaced with French fries, and the server mentioned that the chef didn’t have time to cook the usual recipe.
• The Gravity Bowl lacked key ingredients like tomato and avocado, which had been part of it the day before.
• The side order of sausages was replaced with a smaller, thinner version that wasn’t what we expected.

• French toasts are burned too much on a side and all bacons had over cooked.

• Rojo 🤢it was only sauce over chips.

Unfortunately, nothing about our second experience matched the great first impression. It was very disappointing, especially since we returned based on how much we enjoyed it the day before.

Everything we ordered was great. I think the 7 of us tried everything and all was good.

Kid-friendliness: We had a 2 1/2 year old. They have a kids menu and he loved the fries. The adults loved them too 🙂

Love the small intimate space and the open kitchen. Ragout was delicious, burger was a burger. Overall good experience!
