This morning my husband and I enjoyed brunch here. The atmosphere is fun and inviting with interesting art work all around, including some very unique light fixtures. It was busy, however, our waitress kept offering us excellent service and had a wonderful young lady helping her. Combined they were an excellent team, even when I stopped to ask many questions on items they were serving. The food was delicious with perfect serving sizes. It was our first time and we enjoyed each aspect. We will definitely try dinner next! Thanks to everyone for making a great first impression from the time we walked in and out of your place!

Creative Decor with the Best Fish Tacos Ever! Best Blueberry Crumble Pie as well! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Really well prepared meal well worth the price. We visited on a very busy Tuesday fall night for an early dinner. The restaurant is funky, comfortable, and relaxed, with friendly servers and really good food. We ordered non-alcoholic sparkling strawberry lemonade drinks that were really nice. The complimentary bread starter came with olive oil with a strong hit of roasted garlic. Our entrees included a seafood special (salmon, haddock, shrimp, and mussels) served over arugula herbed risotto. The fish was very fresh and the risotto was well prepared. The dish was very good, with bold favors from lots of Parmesan and garlic. Maybe the chef is showing a theme here, although it may be a little too much bold for some. We also had the with chicken that were nicely cooked and very tasty. Service was prompt, the food was served hot, and the portions were generous. The only hiccup of the evening was that a large part came in after us that took a lot of attention so we had to wait quite a bit to get our check. But that wasn’t the server’s fault, and she apologized sincerely, so we didn’t hold that against them too much. Prices were appropriate given the quality of the food and the service, so I wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again.

Very pricy for what you get! I thought the Baked Haddock was undercooked and flavorless.

Love getting coffee and a sweet treat in the mornings on my way into work. They even have homemade sandwiches, quiche and some other savory selections.
The only draw back is the space. They do a great job getting people in and out with a smile and wonderful service though. You may have to stand outside for a few minutes if there are more than three people in the cafe so bring an umbrella if it's raining but it's worth the few minutes wait.
