The Scene
The sexy, animated setting features a gleaming white decor. Frosted-glass panels, gold-rimmed mirrors and wood tables offset the vanilla color scheme. In warm weather, the garage-style front doors are raised, merging the dining room with the sidewalk.
The Food
If you don't opt for the fluffy all-day omelettes and pancakes, you can stick with a traditional lunch menu, which can include a bowl of steamed baby mussels in a garlicky tomato broth and a salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion on toasted sourdough bread smeared with tangy goat cheese. Don't miss the macaroni and cheese, a crusty, bubbling version with just the right blend of cheddar and fontina.

I had dinner here the other evening with one of my friends. The food was amazing, especially the mac and Cheese, and so was the cocktails. The prices were a little high, but other than the bill at the end of dinner and drinks, I really enjoyed the atmopsphere and the food.

Wait was not bad, especially considering requesting an outdoor seat in gorgeous weather. Been there twice now, wait staff (just like the food) is sometimes good and sometimes not so good. First time, great waiter so polite and nice. second time, very pretentious and acted like he was doing me big favor by serving me. first had the mac n cheese sampler, all 3 version were phenomenal! couldn't get enough of it. chicken and waffles was good, i couldn't really get the combination quite right on my taste bud, i think. cuz the chicken was great and waffle was great but together was a little odd, but maybe just me? then had fish and chips. chips was good, fish was positively awful unfortunately. mushy batter was barely cooked, couldn't pick a full piece of fish as it was sticking to the paper it was on. I would give it 3.5stars if i could.
