This is a great spot to get some good food for Lunch or Breakfast. Most of the items seem quite unique and aren't seen commonly across many diners. The chicken cordon bleu eggs benedict was quite tasty and so was the chicken sandwich. Chicken and waffles were amazing too. I also found the names of the menu items to be quite funny . Our server was nice and she made sure we had everything that we needed. Highly recommend checking this place out

Amazing spot! We are from Miami visiting Boston, we were impressed by the food here!!!
Prices are no spicy and the portions are realistic big. They have very good flights, interesting if you want to try diversity. Service 10/10.
Top3 spots from Boston as we tried so far!🔥🔝

Great experience but the coffee was deeply questionable. Came on a Tuesday morning, no wait, and ordered a smoked salmon bagel alongside a black coffee. Bagel was great! Thought something had gone sour, the coffee had a pungent kick that made it deeply uncomfortable to drink.
