I came here for weekend brunch.

Food I've tried:

  • SHAKSHUKA ($14): portion and price was reasonable. Flavor wise is pretty standard, the sauce was not overly sweet which is always nice. It did come with a very crisp piece of bread, and I liked having the extra carbs to enjoy the nice sauce.
  • Note I visited during October 2020 and they did not give cups of water with your meal. They instead charged for bottled water. I was a little puzzled by this, since they still served alcoholic drinks in open containers. I am unsure if this still is the case, with ongoing COVID restrictions.

Atmosphere:

  • They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It can be pretty crowded, so I definitely recommend planning accordingly especially if you are considering here for weekend brunch.
  • The outdoor area is a converted part of the parking area. There were heaters, which worked well enough to keep me warm. I am not sure how the heaters would hold up in the colder winter weather though.
  • The indoor area has a very cozy vibe.

Service:

  • The staff were friendly.

Overall:

  • If you are in the area for brunch, it's a safe option to go with. Portion and price is reasonable, food is what you expect.
