I hate to say it but the food has truly become awful here. We went in April and yesterday. I thought April was a fluke, so I didn't write a review but after last night I can't let it go. The fries taste like funnel cake. They need to change the oil. I can't even begin to describe the chicken fingers we got last night. They were inedible and uncuttable. There was little to no meat inside and the outside was just burnt, tough breading. My husband got the ribs and it was a huge piece of fat. He couldn't get any meat off. We should have complained on the spot but we were jostling three kids and didn't have time to do that. I'm really disappointed because it is so nice to eat outside there and listen to music, but I can't keep wasting money on the terrible food. Also, the kids menu was nowhere to be found and I had to ask for it. There was no physical copy, the cashier read the options to me.

Good vibe food and happy hour. One comment would be that bugs (mosquitoes) started coming out. Would be nice to have bug candles or something.

We had a relaxed late breakfast with well-made crepes, coffee and matcha. It was a nice day and we really enjoyed sitting in the patio under the trees. The kitchen entrees were expensive, but the coffee shop items were at typical prices for the area. We’ll come here again.

Steak and cheese sandwich was delicious. Love the truffle fries!

Great spicy dirty chai latte and service from the owner and Josh too!
John
Everything was great but as soon as possible the server would go to his perch and study his smart phone oblivious to repeat requests for assistance. I understand youth, but service during busy meal hours means putting your phone away!

Great food, fun vibe with live music. Enjoyed sitting in the outdoor covered area (heated)-- enjoyed hearing the rain on the roof while dining. Margarita flight was fun to taste and well presented. I am not a dessert person but I walked by the dessert display and was sold!

This is a great place for lunch or dinner before a performance at Strathmore. There's an interesting and varied selection of food, plus good coffee and desserts. All the wait staff look after all the tables so you can flag down any of them for more water or another drink - very useful. We sat inside (because it was cold and rainy), but there's a covered, heated patio as well that looked lively. Among us we had the squash ravioli in sage butter sauce (tasty), chicken sharwama (very good - served open-faced), and a salmon burger (also rated very food). The tiramisu and key lime pie shared for dessert all quickly disappeared, so must have been good!

We sat in the covered patio dining room and it was very cold even though there were heaters. The restaurant actually has blankets that they hand out to patrons who are cold so it must be a common occurrence. This particular evening, we had poor service that was rectified as soon as we spoke with the manager. Specifically we did not get menus when we were seated and had to ask for them. Then we waited a long time before we could catch the waiter's attention to place our order. The party at the table beside ours, who had been seated after us, had already received their food and 30 minutes after we were seated, our water glasses were still empty and although we'd ordered food and drinks, nothing had arrived yet so our table was empty. Once we spoke to the manager, our food and drinks did arrive quickly and was very good. He also gave us coffee on the house and the waiter apologized for the delay.
I was really disappointed with my experience here today. I ordered a salad that ended up costing $21 because I added chicken—and it was absolutely not worth it. The salad was mostly cucumbers and pears with an olive oil vinaigrette, but it was overloaded with onions and radishes, which completely overpowered the dish. The chicken was the only saving grace, but even with it, this was one of the worst salads I’ve ever had. The price is just ridiculous for what you get, and the quality is nowhere near worth it for the food or at least that salad.
**I do enjoy their coffee and pastries, which is why I’ve been a repeat customer, but after this experience, I will never order food here again. I’ll stick to my latte and pastry. xoxo

Fast service and great food! Definitely recommend their home fries!

Service was very slow. Noise level was so high you could not have a conversation with the person sitting in front of you. Food was good and plenty of good choices.
Fine place to grab a drink 🍸
