Went there this Sunday with our dog and friends, had the quiche Loraine with side salad, croque madame, croissant au chocolat, perrier waters and a cold brew, delicious. The food was brought to our sidewalk table, it was a great lunch. My only recommendation, we had a dog and it would be nice if they brought out some water for him.

Absolutely incredible experience! My family and I have traveled all over Europe and around the world, and this restaurant truly stands out. The food was exceptional—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The service from the entire staff was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish.
A special thank you to Ben, the owner, who personally came out to greet us and shared that the restaurant has been open for 7 years....

Loved this place! I got the La Paris and an Arnold Palmer, both were great. The ambiance, ample seating, service, and pricing was spot on. I'll be back here any time I'm in the area!
