    Beautiful restaurant, nice location tucked away with lots of parking. We went for brunch and the food was amazing, I had the lamb sausage scramble and loved the balance of savory with jalapeños. Others in our party had the shaksuka which tasted, great balance of acidity from tomato with the eggs and feta. Daughter had lemon ricotta pancakes and they were the best pancakes I have ever had. Service was fantastic. One negative we got there when it opened and the floor was dirty, whoever was supposed to clean in the morning or the night before forgot. Small detail but overall great experience we will be returning.

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!
