“So good we went twice.”
I first visited this place years ago. On a hot day, the friendly waitress asked if I'd like more iced tea. After four small glasses, I was surprised to see I was charged for each one. Aside from that, the food is excellent. As two gay vegetarians visiting the area, we don't have many options. I always enjoy my time here. The breakfast dishes look good, but we always end up going for lunch.

“THE WORST”
The setting is charming and feels very European. However, the food was terrible. We ordered chicken pasta, and the chicken was like a piece of wood. The calamari was so overdone that it fell apart when we tried to eat it. Service was extremely slow. We waited 45 minutes for the worst food, and it was overpriced.
