Food: Overpriced mediocrity

Don't waste your tastebuds or wallet on a 'surprisingly tasty' Veggie Sandwich or the inconsistent Green Tea Tiramisu. The menu suffers from a confusing lack of originality and descriptions, with food impressions hovering between 'mediocre' and 'disappointing'. Even the portion sizes don't do justice to the inflated prices. Not to mention, there's a spoiled cake raising concerns about the overall freshness.

  • Okay Portions

    Portions received as generous for some, but size complaints by others.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu items often crossed out, indicating poor availability and choice.

Vibe: Cozy charm amid chaos

Beneath the surface of the restaurant's cozy and charming ambiance, lurks a poorly curated playlist with music unsuitable for dining. A rather odd patio seating by the parking lot overshadows the otherwise romantic and intimate vibe, perfect for date nights.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, charming ambiance consistently highlighted as welcoming and comfortable.

  • Okay Buzz

    Ambiance wins despite high prices and mediocre food offerings.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music with explicit content inappropriate for the dining atmosphere.

Perks: Service falls short

Despite convenient parking and pet-friendly accommodations, the service is inconsistent and rude, putting a damper on the overall dining ambiance. The outdoor seating is often too noisy and crowded, affecting the dining experience. What's even more disappointing is the staff's dismissive attitude towards dietary restrictions.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups with spacious seating and various room options.

  • Okay To Hear

    Balance of noise varies; some find it ideal for productivity, others too loud.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Outdoor seating at times too noisy, crowded, affecting experience.
