Really great vibe and good food. The crispy chicken was a perfect small plate, with a good portion size and Calabrian honey. The Cappellaci was good as well and the shaved truffle on top really made the dish. For dessert we got the eclair with hazelnut - the cream was great. What really stood out to me out of everything was the vibe, it’s very nicely decorated and does feel akin to a French Brasserie. Service was really attentive as well. It was so good we went back the next day to get a Dutch Baby for breakfast.
