Delicious Food, Great Service & Ambiance
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The food was delicious; we both ordered a chicken panini, and I also had the soup of the day, which was Tomato and yummy. We enjoyed two oat milk cortados, one with cinnamon and the other with vanilla.
The service was good, with staff taking the time to explain menu options and make suggestions. The ambiance is good for a date or meeting friends.
