Vibe: Aesthetically pleasing charm

Step inside and you’re transported to a cozy, chic Parisian bistro. From Instagrammable dishes to a reasonably priced wine list, the charm and energy are contagious. However, if you’re looking for a low-key first date spot, you might find it too loud to hold a conversation.

  • Bad For Dates

    Not good for first dates; too loud and lacks privacy.

Perks: Efficient service amidst hiccups

Whilst the parking and reservations can be a hiccup during peak times, nothing beats the attentive, friendly service from the staff. It compensates for the lack of child-friendly options and discomfort of the outdoor patio. However, the noise level can be high, making it hard for customers to enjoy their conversation.

  • Great Service

    Friendly, attentive service frequently highlighted in positive experiences.

  • Bad For Kids

    No specific children's menu, not fully accommodative for kids.
