We arrived for a late breakfast and were greeted by a friendly host and seated promptly (10% occupancy). The food was very good, delicious pancakes but the cappuccinos were underwhelming. The waiter was friendly and attentive. It’s a good breakfast spot but fix the cappuccinos!

The plants throughout and staffs uniforms give the entire place a warm earthy vibe. We dined for valentines, and each plate was thoughtfully put together. From the amuse to dessert, each plate was perfect in portion and mouthfeel. My favorite was the beet agnolotti, which surprised and delighted me with a dehydrated beet crunch. My partner’s favorite dish was the main course steak, which featured a savory and craveable truffle sauce. Our special mention goes to the beefsteak tomato milk bread. The buttery crunch of the edge pieces left me wanting another to take home. Our server was perfectly attentive and always timely with our drinks. It was a truly wonderful experience and I will be recommending to friends.
