5-star is not enough for Lea's superb service & warm personality! We also enjoyed the food a lot made by the chef Gary - from the soup to the cod, everything is so fresh & tasty. A very nice dining experience for sure.

thanks to Lea's incredibly warm & welcoming service - she truly made us feel at home.

surprise came when Chef Gary himself came out to introduce the dishes & kindly answered my questions - such a pleasure to meet him & even take a photo together!

The standout dish of the day was definitely the tomato soup - a cold, refreshing surprise with cucumber notes & a beautifully layered mix of spices. Very unique!

The pan-seared cod was super fresh, & I loved the crispy texture of the skin.

The Burger 1881 is one of my favorite - the bun was light & airy, while the patty was tight, juicy, & full of flavor. The coffee was… well, just your average coffee.

I went there a while ago in August with some friends. We're teenagers, & we really tried to be respectful & not too loud. Despite that, we felt pretty neglected by the staff. The food was good, but I can't say much about the atmosphere since we went around 3 PM & the place was almost empty. I still left a tip at the time, but looking back, I kind of regret it because of the way we were treated.
