    Great for coffee shop working. WiFi is fairly reliable, lots of plugs and tables. Lunch food is lovely too. Just remember that at 5pm it turns back into a wine bar so laptops go away 😊.

    Valet ripoff of $8. Didn't take my keys or drive the car. Just told me where to park. Totally worth $8! Came out after spending $100 and was gone and customers were parking on their own. Awesome!!!

    Friends- Wednesday nights they were selling all the bottles on the menu, all of them, for $20. Just insane. Food wasn't bad, and that wine deal makes this place a winner on Wednesday!

    Good space to take a break but music is quite loud and ventilation from kitchen isn’t good so you can feel the food and grease sitting in the air.
