The place is nice, small portion, the service is ok. I'm not a fan of the organization: order at the cashier, pay right away, & tip at the end of the payment. If I don't get to see a service, how can I choose what amount to leave?! No one came to take away our plates after breakfast, for as long as we were there 1h

Loved this place. The food was tasty. The design & decor, needless to say, is beautiful. It creats a cozy environment. The drinks' prices are on higher end but I guess that is what to be paid, considering also the location. Overall, a great experience.
