“ Went on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed a mellow environment, natural light, attentive service, and great happy hour prices. Enjoyed the charcuterie board, deviled eggs and fries. I hear the Heffenweisen was also great. Beautiful spot, wasn't crowded or pretentious. Would recommend to folks looking for a low key meet up spot or a place where they can have and hear a good conversation with a date. ”
“ We had breakfast there this morning and it was much more than I expected! My husband had the quesadilla and it filled up a very hungry man. I had the omelette - it was stuffed with yummy vegetables and delicious cheese served nice and hot. It came with breakfast potatoes, done to perfection. The coffee was delicious! I really loved the low-key environment, being surrounded by lots of live greenery. The wait staff was very attentive. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant! ”
“ I was happy with the service, atmosphere and food here. Friendly and attentive staff. The place had a very earthy, open, light and bright vibe. For Sundays, if you go out, sometimes, you need a place where you can roll out of bed and transition smoothly over for a good meal and just chill. A place where time stops and you can unwind in peace or enjoy your company naturally for brunch. This is one of the places where I achieved that. The food was very satisfactory and filling. All in all, I was in a good place enjoying my friends over a good meal. And that's all you need to start on a Sunday. ”
