What makes it special: A neighborhood French bistro that leans on organic, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
Who should go: Brunch and wine lovers who appreciate relaxed, European-style cafés.
When to visit: Weekend brunch or early evening for patio seats and live music.
What to order: Les Eggs Benedict, croque madame, seasonal salad or daily special.
Insider tip: Check their schedule for Sunday live music to pair with brunch or drinks.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; typically manageable on side streets before 6pm but becomes difficult during peak brunch hours.
Dress code: Smart casual; relaxed café attire is fine, though many diners lean slightly polished for brunch and evening cocktails.
Noise level: Moderate during daytime and brunch, rising to lively when live music is scheduled; still workable for conversation at most tables.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes for patio or prime indoor tables without a reservation.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, with plenty of open seating early in the afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several salads, egg dishes, and French bistro classics can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — 1–2 seasonal plates may work, but substitutions are needed.
Gluten-free options: Moderate — some salads and mains are naturally gluten-free; staff can guide on modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the corner location, European café energy, and outdoor seating create a relaxed, charming backdrop that feels intimate without being formal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially on weekdays or early evenings. Weekend brunch and patio tables fill quickly, so arriving early is the best strategy.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids during daytime hours; the menu skews adult and the room tightens during peak brunch or live-music nights.
Best For
Better for: Casual, European-style brunch with seasonal ingredients and outdoor seating that feels more atmospheric than many nearby cafés.
Skip if: You want a strictly vegan experience, need very quiet dining, or prefer large-format group tables.
