   The food was delicious but we felt really rushed. Our courses came out on top of each other and the tables were too small to accommodate the dishes. It would have been nicer if they had spaced out bringing our food. In general the service was ok but not excellent. Would recommend it but with those caveats! Possibly we should have ordered an appetizer then waited to order a main course.

   Beautiful, quaint little cafe, meticulously managed, together with the adjacent beautiful book store this makes a little heaven for food and book lovers alike

   Such a beautiful place but so crowded! Having to sit at a counter with strangers, looking into a mirror, and sitting on bar stools with no back was uncomfortable and not what I’d hoped for. But with three of us the day before, we sat at a table with proper chairs, it was lovely. Grace was a very sweet hostess.

   I can’t lie I love this place! Definitely lives up to the hype. Obviously a little expensive but the service, aesthetic, and quality of the food is so worth it. They also always have new things to try!!

   Breakfast was horrible and expensive. And the $9 mocha doesn't match my expectation at all. The bookstore was cute though.

   We sat on the patio which was very cute Popovers were small, not hot, not airy Fries were overcooked Squash salad had an oily dressing not flavorful very little goat cheese Soups were ok Waitress never checked back on us ; came with the tablet and waited for us to pay- although we were not ready never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee The hostess and another waiter Fortino were friendly as we finished our drinks but waitress had left We had a 3:00 reservation and it wasn’t even 4:00 Had heard great things but very disappointed

    The café is beautiful and the coffee is good. However, the food didn’t meet our expectations, especially considering the higher prices. The poached eggs were overcooked, and some portions were small. On the bright side, the bookstore upstairs is a must-visit.
