We had a wonderful waitress and cook. Delicious food and variety! Our big complaint - we had a 7:15 reservation and were seated at 7:45, we were served soup and salad quickly- 8:00-8:15. But the cook did not make it to our teppanyaki table until 10:00pm. If we had known we would be eating at 10pm on a 7:15 reservation we would not have seated. Tables seated after us had a cook before us. They kept promising us that the cook was coming, and then other tables would get a cook, but not us. the discrepancy was never explained. We were given a free appetizer of edamame while we waited. It was Thanksgiving, so it was very crowded at the restaurant. Still we would go back on a non-Holiday because when we did get service, it was great and the food was delicious.

Super cute spot! The vibes and atmosphere are what I think all brunch spots should be. The food was good, nothing mind blowing— but the vibes made up for it. Give it a shot :)

The ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.
