The food and staff are amazing. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. One unpleasant thing was the amount of time it took them to make the food and bring it over. But the wait was worth it for the incredible food.

Great food, beautiful place, great service. I love the magic of food being brought up on a dumb waiter.

Changed hands and is not as good. Inconsistent ingredients in some dishes. If you like it this time, it may not be served the same way next time. Chef seemed to favor the tables who ordered liquor. Can no longer recommend.

Yummy food, good service, charming ambiance. We’ll be back!
I came here for the Thursday Wine flight special on my anniversary with my boyfriend and Diana and Calvin really hooked us up! Four courses with a paired wine per course and everything was incredible! The Thursday wine flight deal was such a fun experience. You don’t have to even look at the menu and everything is taken care of! Big fan of this place and can’t wait to come back again. :)

Food was okay, but the portion sizes are ridiculous. $17 for two tiny sliders and a side of soup. I get more food for that price in Chicago, let alone St. Joseph, Missouri. Bloody Mary had so much dill it tasted like I was having a glass of pickle juice and didn't have any garnish at all. Cute café, though.

The food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is sophisticated and cozy. I highly recommend!
I have tried this place many times and really wanted to like it. I love supporting local, but I can't give this establishment high reviews unfortunately.
I was astonished that my $9 side salad came out on a tea saucer. It has gotten smaller and smaller as time goes by.
The $28 Salmon is consistently WAY overcooked, slimy skin and under seasoned.
The $26 Beef Medallions were hammered thin like a Schnitzel, so much so that requesting it to be cooked medium-rare is not possible, and the vegetables are incredibly bland. I will say the Potatoes Au gratin is delicious. Unfortunately that would be the only thing I would order again.
The server was wonderful though, and I want to give her lots of kudos!

Nice ambience, with the exception of the reality that all the surfaces are hard and staff are unaware that banging around pots and pans is deafening. Food is mediocre at best. The last time I was there, staff appeared to be more interested in talking to each other and socializing than actually doing their jobs. I have eaten here repeatedly and continued to have high hopes, but I am disappointed nearly every time.

This is truly a hidden gem. The dining area is very welcoming and comfortable. The service was top notch and everyone was very friendly. The food is over the top in quality and taste. This is easily some of the best food we've eaten. We tried the creme brulee and the chocolate raspberry torte and the agreement was it was the best dessert we've ever had.
