The interior design reflects an industrial aesthetic characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that illuminate the open dining area. Menu offerings focus on elevated classic dishes, featuring thick-cut sourdough toasts topped with seasonal produce and house-made ricotta. The kitchen consistently utilizes fresh, locally sourced components to construct balanced plates that favor structural simplicity over complex plating. Patrons experience a lively atmosphere where the focus remains strictly on the quality of the prepared food and the functionality of the workspace. This establishment balances the casual nature of a market-inspired café with the technical precision of a focused bistro kitchen. Every element, from the beverage selection to the curated seasonal vegetables, demonstrates a commitment to ingredient-led preparation methods.

While the restaurant frequently draws long lines and can be quite noisy due to its busy nature, a large number of visitors find the high-quality, fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes, such as the crispy fried chicken sandwich and seasoned fingerling potatoes, to be well worth the wait.

Cute cozy place at the old port. The only dish to recommend is the chicken sandwich. My sourdough was hard like stone. Concise menu but portions are bit small. Paying extras for the atmosphere.

I can't say enough about this place! We waited about 20 minutes, which I felt was both a good sign of what they provided, as well as a pretty quick moving operation. All of the staff were super friendly & had a constant smile on their face. The food came out super fast & was so fresh. Everything was SOOO delicious. The serving size is definitely meant for a very strong appetite, to split with someone, or some tasty takeaway. The cocktails were very well crafted & matched the food & overall all-star service. I can't recommend this place enough!!

On comprend la file d'attente! Restaurant de brunch populaire, c'est branché, c'est beau, il y a un menu simple & efficace. Le sandwich au poulet frit est hyper bien balancé, l'assiette déjeuner avec une salade & une toast montée d'un demi-avocat & d'un oeuf est plus équilibrée pour un repas santé. Je recommande de partager même si ce n'est pas le concept juste pour goûter à plus de choses (sandwich poulet frit miam mais j'aime bien plus) Ce n'est pas donné, mais acceptable pour la qualité & l'emplacement Vieux-Port, pour les plats principaux du moins (~25$) puisque le reste semble typiquement inflation en restauration (6.99$ pour extra 3 tranches bacon(!), ou comme partout similaire, des boissons à 7$ ou cocktail 15$).
