    This was our first time here- everything was delicious! The fries were literally the best I’ve ever had. The fondue was so fun and so delish. Thanks for a great experience!

    The food was delicious! the brunch French toast was soft on the inside and had a wonderful caramelization on the outside. Of course the crème fraiche was divine. We also had the crepes and egg sandwiches which were both great. The bechamel and aioli were perfectly paired.

    Great experience for brunch today. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the brulee’d french toast for dessert! The space in the restaurant is very tight. The only recommendation I have to make the space comfortable for all.
