We were the only people there eating although a few stopped in for a drink during the couple of hours we were there. We loved the big glass of olives that they brought us to start. We ordered a hamburger with potato chips (crisps) for the girls to share and it was more than enough for their tiny stomachs. My spouse and I had the menu del dia. He started with pasta carbonara, which child #1 decided was better than her food and ate most of it. I had a salad of tomatoes and cheese with balsamic vinegar. Nothing fancy but nice and fresh. Spouse enjoyed the steak (good but nothing special) while I had smoked salmon open faced sandwiches. It was so rich I couldn't even make it half-way through.

For dessert, I opted for coffee while he had a cream cake that was too sweet for me but the others helped him finish it. Charlotte is already asking when we can go back for croissants.

This version has an Asian twist with lightly battered chicken strips and a chipotle aioli sauce, which gave the dish a unique flavor. The main seating area is on the lower level with several tables, but since it's a basement, there isn't any natural sunlight. If outdoor seating is available, that's definitely the way to go. Overall, a good spot if you're looking to try something a little different.
