Adorable cafe for a morning coffee, delicious lunch, or a lovely dinner with jazz and wine. The decor is really charming and romantic. Do try their Breakfast Beer with Guiness and espresso!

Incredible Asian style BBQ. Must haves include the manila clams, pork ribs, and the brisket. The Bloody Mary and their Recession Special (a shot of whiskey with their homemade pickleback) are amazing!
