The food here is fantastic, everything is made to order and oh so fresh. The locals seem to be the only ones who know about the place.

Terrible service and something happened with our orders that took about an hour to get our food…read more Not only did the other tables around us get their food before us even though some ordered after us, but after asking for info we're rudely brushed off. I asked again when the food finally arrived - "How did this happen?" The manager couldn't even tell the truth and muttered something about it being busy even though the restaurant was half empty and others received their food before us. He couldn't even bother staying at the table...he's already walking away. Absolutely no concern at all about making us wait. Get rid of that "manager" and I'd bet things would immediately improve. I hate being lied to...just apologize and tell us what happened.

Now, the coffee here is not great - but honestly the best cup in the area. But you don't really come here for the coffee, but rather the food. It is great!
