I was very hopeful that the pastries would be good, as this bakery received a lot of rave reviews…read moreand seems to be a small business, but I was disappointed with the quality. * Napoleone - VERY stale and smelled like an old building. It tasted like it had been sitting in a display case for days * Chocolate cannoli - best pastry I received. Super good! * Lobster tail - hard and half filled with cream * Strawberry cream puff - pastry itself was stale, strawberries were good. * Eclair - texture was fine, but it didn't have much flavor It may have been that I ordered them early in the afternoon, but the stale pastries tasted like they'd been left out for days. If you do visit, I highly recommend ordering their cannolis.

Came for brunch and didn't have a great time…read more The positives were short: the bread for the sandwiches was decently tasty and the bathroom was well maintained and outfitted The negatives: -they didn't have any potatoes ready for the day so all dishes that included potatoes needed to be ordered without them as the potatoes wouldn't be ready for another hour. This effectively cut the menu in half -Waters were never refilled or offered to be the entire two hours we were here -hot sandwiches were almost all served cold and the egg was overcooked on one of them -Chicken Caesar Wrap was tiny and so was the breakfast burrito. Like tiny tiny -Food and service took a very long time (two hours from sitting down to receiving check) and the place was nearly empty when we sat down and ordered -The wrong menu item was brought out for one of our friends who dined with us -an ordered side of hot sauce came nearly an hour after the initial food was brought out -the large and small drinks were volumetrically the same despite a difference in price -things kept getting burned in the kitchen and the ventilation didn't seem to be working so the whole dining area was smoky Overall it felt like the restaurant was way more focused on aesthetics and instagramability than quality of the actual food. Which is possibly why the majority of the images available on the internet are of the restaurant itself and not the food they serve The pricing wasn't great either. overall not an experience we intend to try again
