Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for health-conscious dates - casual vibe takes pressure off, unique French-vegan fusion is a conversation starter, but skip if they're a committed carnivore
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes on weekdays, but weekend brunch requires booking ahead or arriving before 10am or after 2pm to avoid the rush
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat - they have high chairs and a kids menu, but the health-focused options might not appeal to picky eaters. Better for adventurous kids 8+
