    Wonderful eatery on an adorable street. One issue: we sat outside (curbside) and there’s a music school across the street. Loud drumming was going on, lol

    My husband and I enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. Our server was Reed and he was very personable and friendly. We sat outside with our two dogs (facing Montana) and it was a cute and cozy spot. Food and cocktails were amazing. We will be back again soon!

    We sat outside on a lovely afternoon. Brunch is served as well as lunch. I opted for the Eggs Benedict (but with a California twist). I highly recommend it!
