Unreal Flavors and Next-Level Brunch!
My experience at the restaurant was truly amazing! The way the flavors come together is unreal. We came for brunch, and the steak and eggs were next level, definitely not your traditional boring version.
The omelette was fluffy like a cloud and full of flavor. A MUST try are the pop tarts, which were just amazing. The bacon was crispy with the perfect touch of brown sugar.
The French toast is more for sharing and very sweet.

Good Food, Nice Vibes, A Bit Pricey
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food and vibes were pretty good, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. For starters, we tried a selection of oysters, which were pretty fresh with a wide selection of sources, though they didn't taste too different from each other (lol).
The crudo was also good, with a super appetizing and well-blended sour sauce that complemented the fish nicely. For the main course, we ordered the steak, which tasted good but was pretty standard. The clam pasta with fish roe was savory but a bit on the salty side.
Dessert was pretty sweet. Our server was super nice. We might have gone a bit early, as we didn't catch the movie.
The cost was around $100 per person after tax and tip.

Exceptional Service, Food, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding! The service was a perfect 10/10, with Josue being incredibly attentive and clearly passionate about his job. He's a true asset and should definitely be a lead server.
The food also received a 10/10, bursting with flavor. We enjoyed the smaller bites, which were satisfying. The drinks were top-notch, and the atmosphere was fantastic, creating a vibe akin to a high-end movie theater with delicious food and great cocktails.

Disappointing Last-Minute Cancellation
I had booked a table at this restaurant for a very special occasion, and Janine had confirmed the reservation for a private dining room. After receiving email confirmation, Janine suddenly canceled on our party last minute without providing any explanation. Despite multiple calls and emails, I received no explanation, alternative solution, or apology from Janine.
I really liked this restaurant, but it is a shame how it has lost in service.

An unforgettable dining experience!
I had one of the top ten meals of my life here. I went as a walk-in right when they opened at five. The food was so delicious, and the wife selected some great dishes.
We enjoyed the pork chop and the pasta for our mains. I'm sending all my friends here!

Amazing Brunch and Eager to Return for Dinner!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for brunch. The service was amazing, and my favorite dish was the “pop tart”, which was incredibly fresh and warm. Based on recommendations from friends who have dined here for dinner, I'm eager to return and try their dinner menu.
I also plan to bring other friends and family on my next visit.

Delicious Food, Unique Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. While the service was a little slow, I understood because it was a busy Friday night. The food was absolutely delicious.
I appreciated that their menus change frequently and the oysters were incredibly fresh and tasty. Be prepared to spend a bit more, as the price is higher, but it's well worth it. The atmosphere is a standout feature.
There's both indoor and outdoor seating. When dusk arrives, the outdoor dining area transforms into a nostalgic experience with old movies playing on a building wall, complete with old drive-in movie speaker boxes – I personally loved it. The indoor seating was tastefully done and felt a bit more upscale.
I'll definitely be back.

Exceptional Anniversary Dinner Experience
My experience at this restaurant was incredible! They truly know how to take care of their guests. The food was delicious, and our server went above and beyond to make our anniversary dinner special.
I'm gluten-free and was pleased to find many options available. Reservations are recommended, and the price per person is $100+. The atmosphere, service, and food were all rated a 5 out of 5.

Fantastic Wedding Meal and Service
As a guest at a wedding, my experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The service was top-notch, and I was pleasantly surprised to have one of the best meals I’ve had this year, especially considering it was wedding food. The restaurant did a fantastic job hosting the event.
