  We came in for dinner excited to try this place, but unfortunately the experience fell short. We ordered a bottle of wine, and our server accidentally pushed the cork into the bottle. She also didn’t present the bottle as is customary, and attempted to serve it with the cork still inside. When we asked for it to be strained, she apologized and went to the bar, only to return with two glasses of wine- one of which still had cork floating in it. We were then told it was the last bottle they had of that wine. The manager did come over and kindly offered us a higher-priced bottle at the same price as the one we ordered, which we appreciated. However, after multiple issues with the wine, the food, and the overall service, we ultimately decided not to continue with dinner. We ordered two cocktails instead, and when closing out the tab, our server asked if the manager had mentioned comping our drinks- which he hadn’t, then acted as though taking off the undrinkable bottle was a courtesy. After asking us about the comped drinks, the drinks were in fact not comped. I think it’s wild to ask your table this before bringing them the check. Overall, we left really disappointed. We had been looking forward to trying this restaurant, but after the series of mishaps and the lack of attentive service, we felt our time and money were better spent dining elsewhere.

  Was turned away from dinner because the “kitchen was behind”. Restaurant appeared half full. Bummer, just wanted some French onion soup.

  Used to really love this place! Charming atmosphere and absolutely love to support local. Unfortunately consistency has gone a bit downhill, with prices increasing beyond reasonable means. One of the last times we went, we had a birthday reservation and were unfortunately seated at a high top almost directly in the grocery aisle. I understand the high tops are for smaller parties, but no one else was in the restaurant at 11am on particular day, aside from another 4 top. Really a bummer to be seated in the grocery portion when the restaurant was largely empty, especially with a reservation for a birthday lunch celebration. Decided to try again this past weekend and can’t quite stomach the idea of a $70 bill for a modest breakfast of avocado toast (that appeared to be an overly whipped, green-brown baby food consistency spread over a sad piece of white bread) eggs Benedict, an $8 side of bacon (!) and two black coffees. Totally know times are tough right now and local businesses need our support. $70 for breakfast is verging on outrageous, however. Not sure if we will make it back after being pretty loyal a couple years back.

  I was surprised it was in a grocery store— not quite the vision I had of a quaint bistro. Parking was a nightmare. The service was horrible. It is a very small place. Took 20 to get a glass of wine and 30 for a cheese board! Waitress was nice but horrible at her job. We had to wave her over several times, and she was on her phone a lot. Dinner took about a hour to get. The food was less than okay. The French onion soup lacked depth of flavor, bordering on bland, as did most everything else. For the high prices, I was expecting an exceptional dinner. Not so much.
