Pretty and tasty brunch spot. Curated vibe and creative tasty dishes. Costs a little more than a diner and might have a wait since its popular! Service is quick and efficient but not really warm. But they keep it moving and get the line in the door

Mostly a standard breakfast menu, but a few items totally new to me. Yaki Udon was one, and it was delicious. Service was superb. Sparkling clean. Two quibbles tables a little close together and I wish they had brewed decaf vice instant.

This restaurant has made a very good balance between the exquisiteness of the food and the price! The presentation is also beautiful. If I have to say something negative it is that the waiting time is a bit long, but this is not their fault it is because the restaurant is too popular
