What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and Opentable consistently highlight the vibrant flavors, creative vegetarian options, and the restaurant’s exceptionally friendly staff. Many guests mention it as a “perfect pre-show dinner spot,” and praise the cozy ambiance that still feels upscale. The rotating seasonal menu gets high marks for freshness and variety, especially for those looking for something light yet satisfying before a night of dancing or standing at a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Because of the restaurant’s smaller size, reservations are recommended, especially before a weekend show. Some reviewers noted the limited meat options, so carnivores may want to double-check the menu in advance. Street parking can be hit or miss, so allow a few extra minutes if you're driving.
