    It’s our favorite place for brunch so when I heard they were offering Apero, it was a no brainer we had to go. We loved the meatballs, oysters, Spanish tortilla, salmon and truffle fries. For dessert we tried crème brulee, the fresh berries and crème and the bignettes. All absolutely delicious, perfect for drinks and bites before a night out, or just for an intimate romantic evening enjoying the weather and live music. The best part of the place is no matter where you sit you have a great view. 10/10
