The server made great suggestions (risotto balls were delish and came out speedily after we ordered). I enjoyed my burger (dirty something ...) and friends thought their dishes were good too. Also raves all around for more fun cocktails here.....

Coffee is good and strong, perfect for a morning after a night out on the town. I had the cheesy eggs. They are “soft” cooked scrambled. These are not the dry scrambled eggs you may be used to. These are barely done. I say this because they may throw some folks off a little. While they are definitely cooked and entirely safe to eat, they are “wet” and served in a bowl. But oh my, are they delicious. The cheese and chives are unreal. The lemon ricotta pancake is so light. Subtle lemon flavor, combined with real maple syrup makes these little delights a gift from the food Gods.
