Food: Mixed flavors; limited plate options

The veggie plate offers complex, satisfying flavors and the injera stood out for its soft, tangy texture, ideal for scooping. The spicy vegetable soup was nicely balanced without harsh acidity. Yet, the menu is small, lacking variety and sometimes feels uncoordinated, with freshness and taste varying between dishes.

  • Great Variety

    Small menu but something for everyone; diverse and vegetarian-friendly.

  • Okay Value

    Reasonable prices and good food, but some dishes were just satisfactory.

    Carrot Cake

    Flavorful and delicious, often reminding customers of comforting home-cooked meals.

Vibe: Cozy jazz with underwhelming drinks

The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, enhanced by lively live jazz performances that add a special spark, making it decent for casual dates. However, the quiet, sometimes empty room and a sparse drink list limit the overall atmosphere's allure, leaving a sense of untapped potential.

  • Great Sound

  • Okay for Dates

    While ideal for dates, some note the service and space can be improved.

Perks: Challenging service amid parking woes

Parking is tricky with limited street options, while reservations are restrictive, accepted only for larger groups. Service frequently disappoints with slow, inattentive, and occasionally rude staff. Although outdoor seating is well-appointed and diet options strong, large groups struggle with cramped, awkward layouts.
