Our first visit to this fantastic café- was surprisingly busy for a Monday night. PROS: Food was amazing! Flavors were spot on, well balanced, well paired. Standouts were the confit duck flatbread and the truffle babaganoush. Must haves! (Shish Tawook was underwhelming, and seemed overpriced for what it was). Overall, small but concise menu, portion sizes were good. CONS: Service was slow. Seems like they were understaffed-waited 30min for a drink, and to place our order. Also, server nowhere to be found when we wanted a second drink/wine. So water it was! Also, our table was near a pair of (poorly insulated glass) doors to an outdoor terrace, resulting in a very cold draft for the entire meal- avoid that area if you can, and sit near the fireplace instead.

It was a great Happy Hour experience with great food and service. Shout out to Alyssia for her outstanding service even though she seemed to be the only server on the floor she ensured that all tables were taken care off. Alyssia made our experience memorable, she is a great server.

Cannot say enough great things about this place! ...cherry blossom stuffed croissant...Need I say more? Came for the french 75 with flowers, left voguing and with scones to go. So much love for this jewel of a tearoom. Can't wait to be back. Bringing more and more friends everytime!
