Vibe: Cosy spot, chic drinks

Perks: Parking woes, loud buzz

Despite the positive aspects, the restaurant has some notable downfalls. The limited parking space and street parking stress have dampened the experience for many.

The interactions with staff, lack of comfort for larger groups, and inconsistency in service could do with exhaustive improvements.

    Menu with variety, but need more diet-friendly, specifically gluten-free, choices.

  • Bad For Groups

    Small, crowded spaces limit comfort for larger parties, causing long waits.
