    Wrong lighting and horrible atmosphere - very pleasant server and tasty desserts but not sure I’d go back.

    We came in to celebrate our mother's birthday over the weekend and the restaurant was beautiful and the desserts were amazing, but the service was not great at all. we had to wait a long time to have our order taken (the restaurant wasn't busy) and when we were done, we asked for a takeout container which they brough back but then we continued to wait for the bill for a very long time at which I had to ask for then to come back over so we could get the bill. they also didn't check to see how we were doing until we were almost done. But the restaurant and food are amazing, and we will be back again to try more of the menu. just wasn't happy with the service.

    This place is a hidden gem. The food was really good and the ambiance was amazing. The service was excellent. They have gluten free food options and several gf dessert options. And they are getting a dedicated fryer for gf items. We will be back and highly recommend!

    Service was slow even though we were the only ones in there. It took over 10 minutes for our drinks to come after ordering, food was really slow, no I get it takes time to make it, but it was pizzas and a burger. When our desert came out we had ordered crepes and they were ice cold, so cold we assumed they didn’t make fresh crepes and had refrigerated them as they were also chewy. We mentioned this at the end, both of not finishing them, and was told they are cooked fresh and that they may have been left by the window too long to cool or the ice cream made them cold (it was cold from first bite nowhere near the ice cream and the ice cream hadn’t melted at all. We are from Europe, and have had many crepes never had this issue. Also you don’t leave crepes to cool! They are meant to be served hot! We will give them another try as their mains were nice. So hopefully they don’t fall down at desert again. They offered to do them again but we needed to leave due to an appointment we had
