We just ate here on an August afternoon on the patio, and it was a great ambience! The food was better than I expected, and we really enjoyed the salmon tartare and the zucchini pancakes/fritters. Our only minor complaints would be that the waiters were somewhat quick to clear up at the end of the meal and the road noise/sirens, but otherwise we were really pleased with our experience!

Have been there in the past and thought the food was decent. However, this time it was not great. Salt levels were not great either too salty or not salty enough, and in general food was bland. French fries were soggy. Best part was the bread. we came at an odd lunchtime, so they were not busy, but Service was very slow and when it came time for the check and automatic gratuity was added for four people which I didn’t love. Unfortunately will not be back.
