Been wanting to check this place or for awhile. It's so nice. Great atmosphere inside. It's really cozy, vibey & intimate. Saw some people studying, couples in a lunch date, & solo eaters... so people of all kinds. I ordered the tuna sandwich & it was very fresh & delicious. It is a bit pricey enough $20. They also have teas & desserts so good place for this.

No guidance at the entrance, maybe is the convention. No indication, maybe is the convention. No water served, but maybe that's the convention. Food was good looking tho served very slow, sausage taste way too processed, potato overly salty, & the salad is literally from Costco, but maybe that's the convention. Overall not gonna visit again unless I got plenty of time, finally my convention.
