“We had a great time at this place. It has a charming French café atmosphere, and even though it’s a small spot, it wasn’t crowded when we were there. We felt comfortable, and the service was quick and friendly. The mascarpone blueberry crepes were excellent and really stood out. It might feel a bit tight when busy, but it was perfect during our visit.“

“Came here for lunch when our son was at a regatta. The restaurant was busy, but we were glad to get a seat. If you have a larger party, be sure to make a reservation.
At lunch, our server was Liz and she was fantastic!

We loved it so much, later that evening, we came back and brought a large group to sit at the bar and have drinks.

The manager Heather was wonderful. The professionalism and customer care were superb! 👌

We highly recommend this restaurant.
Delicious Mexican food. Drinks are so good too.“

“Small, intimate bar with a mainly jazz playlist and a HUGE martini list and a wide variety of bourbons, Scotch whiskies, and Irish Whiskeys. (Pro tip: keep scrolling the drinks menu PDF). Bartenders know their craft and the area. Shout-out to Freeman on the recommendations for Familiar Creature and Solevo!)“
