I had club sandwich and I sent a message to the chef that it is finger licking good. When the chef himself showed up to serve a small party, I understood why - he was jovial and mustve put in all that love into making his meals. I was surprised by their wide variety of meals and I'll definitely be bringing friends here! Dainty, cozy & intimate space.

This was my first time visiting the place. I had the most amazing time. Customer service was also top-notch! The chef was really nice and polite. I wasn't sure about what I wanted and he suggested some menus which I ended up loving. I'll most definitely be going back there or ordering soon.

Cozy place for small groups of two to about five people. The indoor space can take maybe 20 people, while the outdoor space can take may 10 people. The food and ambience are good, the service is okay. I recommend their pastries, breakfast options and creamy pasta. Because it's a small place, it can get loud when customers are carelessly loud with their phones or conversations.
