A relaxed French-leaning room that feels quietly special—more neighborhood bistro than downtown spectacle. It’s strongest when you come for a slow brunch or a low-lit dinner that doesn’t need to shout to feel like an occasion.

Good to Know

Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially for brunch or early dinner; peak weekend nights are tighter without planning ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for adults—brunch with older kids can work, but it’s not set up with kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: Quiet dates, slow brunches, and diners who value atmosphere over hype.
Skip if: You want a buzzy scene, large-group energy, or a late-night dining destination.
