This restaurant has my heart, and you'll feel the same. The dishes and worker attentiveness exceeded expectations. The positive facial expressions create a pleasant environment. Each dish shows signs of just being made. This spot completely exceeded my hopes.
August 2025
Absolutely love this neighborhood gem that serves its community well. We ordered the panini with pesto, torta, fries, and fresh OJs. The panini had a fluffy yet slight crispy texture that complemented well the pesto that was fresh and fragrant. You can never go wrong with balsamic vinegar dressing on your salad either. The fries were crunchy and had a delicious sauce that was like an aioli with a kick. OJs were so fresh and way better than whole foods’ bottled ones. Please check...
