★★★★★ 5.0 Geraldine Salas-Rivero · Jun 2025

Love coming here! The ease of scheduling reservation online and the food are always a plus. This last time we were there, Hailey was our sever. She was great, provided recommendations on food, and the food was brought out promptly.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kat Wheary · Sep 2025

Abysmal service. Disappointing food. We arrived around 6:30 and were promptly seated in the room with the bar. There were 2 other tables in that room and 1 table in the blue room. 4 tables total. Really neat building and atmosphere. Within the time we were there our server, who was the only server there. Forgot what drink one of the other tables ordered, forgot if we had ordered or not, forgot to bring another table a steak knife with their stake (to which they said that they always forget to bring a steak knife) forgot to put my appetizer order in, and forgot my steal knife (and then joked with me about how they always forget the steak knife and asked if I had heard them say that to the other table). My girlfriend avoids dairy whenever possible as any more than a little bit will cause he

If your looking for a unique, cozy, and intimate, restaurant, this is it. There is plenty of street parking. As soon as enter, there is a reception desk and you are warmly greeted. We were seated immediately. Their menu, had enough seafood, meat, and vegan options-for Food was reasonably priced. This visit we chose the salmon dinner and crab cake dinner. Our food was hot, good portions, and seasoned well. We enjoyed our experience and will share with friends and family.

My husband and I googled cafe near us for a late lunch today and stumbled into this Beautiful historic home turned fine-dining café. This 1868 Home is filled with charming grandmother furnishings and family history. Our food and cocktails were Delicious and I will dream about the roasted portobello focaccia and pear martini tonight😋! The hospitality of our server and the owner who came out to say hello made it a very special lunch date. We can’t wait to go back for Brunch:) I would recommend reservations for prime time hours.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marylou Pisapia · Jan 2026

This was our second time coming in, our first time was exceptional, thus the return. Our waitress this morning was disappointing to say the least. We got the feeling that she just did not like us. I ordered a coffee cake for our table to try as an " appetizer" when our brunch was brought our i asked if she forgot the coffee cake, her response was simply I did, do you want it now? No now we have our food, no apology nothing. We had coffee had to request refills, my husband's sausage gravy over biscuit was cold, my fruit was mushy the strawberry and 1 blackberry were good tge rest not. :( . We had high expectations and were so sadly disappointed. I'm happy to spend 100.00 on 4 for breakfast, but I'd like the service to at least be decent. Had this been our first experience it would surely
