Went here for Sunday brunch with the girls. We didn't have to wait too long. 1st come 1st serve, so if there aren't any tables available, put your name on the list. Food was ono and service was good. We had good time.
I was first introduced to this restaurant before COVID and really enjoyed it. Being in the area recently in 2026, I decided to stop by for lunch. To be honest, I didn’t initially realize it was Scandinavian-inspired mixed with local favorites; it wasn’t immediately obvious to me which menu items fit that description. A word of advice: if you are a walk-in, anticipate a long wait, especially for indoor seating. We actually saw a group walk in and seat themselves without checking the waitlist, which added another 10 minutes to our wait. The waiters were incredibly busy that day, so it is definitely best to call and reserve a table ahead of time. Also, just a suggestion—there isn't much difference between the breakfast and brunch menus other than the times; they really should just combine
I don’t understand how this place has so many awards. The Benedicts were absolutely tasteless, and their homemade focaccia tasted like the cheapest brioche. And they serve “Italian” coffee… The only Italian thing about it is the name. The cappuccino was one of the worst I’ve ever had — I took a couple of sips and returned it. Please don’t call it Italian; don’t embarrass the country!!!!!! Their coffee does not taste like this. Overall, the food was very plain and had nothing to do with the Scandinavian vibe they claim. Whoever awarded this place clearly has no idea what good food tastes like. Half of the salad leaves were spoiled. Do not waste your money!!!!
Can't believe we've been missing this place! Went in for the first time and had a delightful experience. The food was fabulous and beautifully plated. Vegan options. Friendly, personalized service. Cozy cafe. We'll be back!
Chef-drive cuisine which is all excellent! Service is top notch. They’ve all become friends. The prix fixe menus always please us. Lemongrass cosmo! Risotto always tempts me. Love owners who greet us. Reservations are best idea.
