Great lowkey local gem! Consistently good and nice service too!
The crabcakes was soggy. It must be a different cook than years ago. Very nasty. It’s not worth the price at all.
Wait staff need a bit more training. The first got my appetizer order and I said Im going to decide with entre. He totally forgot about me. Then the waitress who took over, made a mistake with my dessert order. She was nice about it. But did no effort to correct the issue. I would have ordered more but they just didnt bother. Needs a bit more training. Im a waiter for 18 yrs. I know what Im talking about. But the chicken wings are good. Sticky sweet spicy, im having that again for sure
I've been here twice this week and I can not say enough good words about it. I had the chicken and waffles and the donuts with Nutella. They were empty most of the time when they should be full all day every day. It's really a gem of a restaurant. Give it a try. ASAP.
Food was very fresh, it tasted amazing, and overall was an amazing experience
Unprofessional!!! I went yesterday, made a reservation online but when I came in they said they couldn't find my reservation, and keep asking me to show them my confirmation number or proof, there were plenty of empty tables, but still wouldn't seat me unless I could prove to them . I stood there being judged by three young servers. You're a little Cafe not some fancy restaurants, not nice treating your locals like that, this is how you lose business.
Not sure about what’s happening with the staff here, but our waitress struggled to answer basic questions and forgot our items. She seemed overwhelmed and confused when we asked what came on certain items). She also never really checked up on us.
The staff were not pleasant and this felt unwelcoming. We were there before 11am and it wasn’t busy. Definitely won’t be returning.
I absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is fantastic! Definitely a 10/10 I would highly recommend. I’ve ate here several times and the food has never disappointed.
Ordered the chicken parm and beef bolognese and two chocolate cakes. Honestly the chicken parm was subpar the spaghetti was asain noddles udon? What in the world. The beef bolognese literally couldn't eat two bites it wasn't good at all it tasted spoiled. I definitely do not recommend even the cake after eating it I was not satisfied at all. It wasn't cheap I would at least expect the food to taste good enough.
I have tried their breakfast options! This place is good if you want to just chill and hangout.

Hands down my favorite place in the Heights. Having a great restaurant in walking distance is super convenient for my boyfriend and I. As a local and frequent customer, I find the staff is super friendly and that the food is consistently great. Overall this place has a great vibe and I highly recommend.
Good food friendly Jimmy manages and makes sure everyone is taken care of.
I have never been inside only order delivery. Portions and food have been good till recently order. Got the cacio de pepe. Was a few bites, tiny portion in small foil tray and the bread pudding hard as a rock couldnt cut through it with fork, threw it out. Would like to support this local business but this order was a dissapointment.
I'm normally very hesitant about new places, but the food was good, the portion was great, and I felt relaxed while here. 10/10 will be back the next time I'm in the area for sure.
My pasta was overcooked, and the carbonara was quite different from any I had ever tried. I won't be coming back.
