Food is quite good. Service is inattentive, almost at the level of abandonment, but friendly. Atmosphere is visually appealing, but the music selection can be a real drag on the overall experience. Loud alt rock similar to what you might hear at an indy coffee shop. Relaxing conversation not possible. Automatic gratuity. Shared salad, two entrees, no drinks for lunch = $80

Just ate here with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the talented cooks and chefs make beautiful plates. Our server was gracious and attentive, and knew when to refill our drinks. The food was delicious, well seasoned, and satisfying.

----- brunch -----
--- drinks ---
Espresso tonic ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
- really refreshing
- strong
Shaken espresso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- little too sweet for me but it was good
- we liked it more than the tonic espresso but I wouldn't order this for myself, too sweet
--- food ---
Olli plate ⭐⭐⭐✨
- was good, but didn't blow me away
- loved the bread and bacon the most
- the bacon was perfectly crispy
Smoked salmon plate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- again, loved the bread
- lettuce was delicious, had a really good olive oil on it
- salmon wasn't overly fishy or had a strong smoked taste, I feel like it's really easy to mess up this type of salmon so it deserves 5 stars for that
- the red onions were really good
Steak and eggs ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- like a roasted brisket, not a medium rare steak
- super soft
- I really liked it but not 28 dollars much, was expecting a steak steak
- perfect sunny side up eggs
- cool sauce
Savory porridge ⭐⭐⭐
- this one used really expensive olive oil, you could tell
- it was a little on the bland side
- I think personal preference for me is I would have liked a chilli oil or a bit more pop, maybe a citrus in there?
----- dinner -----
Baguette and butter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- really good bread. Warm and actually worth it, it was flavorful
- the butter was delicious and soft
- the anchovies were a bit much for me though! But my partner loved it. I personally would skip the anchovies unless you love anchovies. It is better than typical American ones though.
Black cod ⭐⭐✨
- wouldn't reorder
- didn't flake apart
- salsa macha was good, but not extraordinary
- loved the cashew crunches
❤️Roasted fennel pizza ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- loved the pickles red onions
- I'm picky with olives but I loved the olives on this
- I think the calabrian chili cream tied it all together, it was actually a tiny hint of spice
- tiniest bit soggy but I liked it
--- drinks ---
Matcha latte ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- I liked how it wasn't overly bitter
- was very light

We enjoyed a delicious dinner. We started with the mixed greens salad, had the chitarra, cannelloni and the sausage pizza. The service is excellent. Menu and wine choices are limited so check first before you go. I would definitely return. Enjoy 😊

Food was fantastic, but it took forever to come out and was cooked incorrectly (runny eggs when asked for fried hard). French toast and drinks were super good. Sadly can’t recommend because it was uncomfortable and so incredibly slow.

I liked the food but was very disappointed with the service. My wife and I were seated more than 20 minutes before a server took our drink order. We couldn’t get anyone’s attention. It was like we were being intentionally ignored. This obviously would have impacted our desired tip so we were then really disappointed to discover when we got the check that it had a fixed 20% gratuity. Not likely to return after this experience or to recommend it.

Skyler was an amazing host. Attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant was clean, and the food was unique and delicious. You can see they put a lot of thought into their food. Most of it is made from scratch and grown in their own garden!

I love this place! Ingredients are of such quality, and preparation highlights their vibrant flavors. The pomodoro pizza is my favorite. Never would have thought that crust and sauce could be so good! Crust is thin and crispy and never floppy!
