"come here if you want to be treated like family!!!if I could give a higher score, I would. I originally saw this place on tiktok and wanted to try because of my flan obsession. My sister and I went… and let me just tell you, we were immediately treated like family. The staff explained the entire menu and we wanted to try everything they suggested. The entire staff are the kindest and most helpful people. We got our apps and entrees and wowowowowow we were blown away. The fried rice is to die for. I think i’ve nearly tried every sandwich (Mojo pork is my personal fav). And the flan!!! I got orange, original, pistachio, nutella, and cafe con leche. All were so so good but the orange really blew me away. In fact, I went back a week later and they had cycled new flavors so the orange wasn’t offered currently. I told Ester (I think that’s how you spell it) that the orange was my absolute favorite and asked when it was coming back. She told me that she would make it later this week and set some aside just for me!!! This place has earned a life long customer."

"Let's start with the food. We ordered the buffalo mac and cheese, potato salad, and smoked salmon dip from the takeout section, and we also tried the fresh-cooked Benedict. Everything was fantastic—10 out of 10! I'm really pleased that they use only olive and avocado oils, distilled water, and high-quality organic ingredients. I also love the Japanese influence, which is evident not just in the food but also in the atmosphere and the staff. It's a wonderful experience. You can actually see the kitchen from the small storefront, and the energy there is vibrant. Plus, the prices are surprisingly reasonable; I was expecting to pay much more!"

"Wow! What a find. This place is clean, the staff were friendly, and the desserts so decadent and at a fair and reasonable price. We arrived an hour before closing; spot-less, inviting, and still lots of desserts to choose from. We ate outside, watched the sun paint its beautiful palette before setting and enjoyed the best desserts. Will definitely be back!"

"The falafel wrap is amazing so fulfilling! I am obsessed. I've eaten here 10+ times and keep coming back. The hummus is the best I've ever had and they have so many varieties to choose from! The beet hummus is my favorite! All the ingredients meals are made fresh you can tell!! So delicious!!! They offer an all vegetarian menu, no meat in the restaurant which is reassuring to someone who doesn't eat any meat! The owner is so sweet, kind and appreciative every time I walk in. She makes me feel so welcomed and happy to keep coming back for a super delicious full nutritional meal. I've also ordered delivery online and my meal came super fast as equally delicious as usual. This is the kinda food that taste just as good leftover too. They never have disappointed me or my taste buds!"

"Pros: Beautiful restaurant Top-notch service, very attentive servers Mise burger FTW! (Minus the onion ring) calamari was a safe appetizer choice. Rosemary biscuits were yummy. Cons: zucchini blossoms were very oily for my taste. Ribye entree was a mess. No seasoning what so ever on the steak, very chewy. Parsnips were very hard, i couldn’t cut it with my cutlery. Chocolate basque cheesecake dessert: MAJOR LETDOWN! I was looking forward to this dessert but it was quite dense. Basque cheesecake has been trending on social media as the best cheesecake for their luscious light and creamy filling. This was nothing like it. Overall, my friend and I spend over $170 for rather mediocre meal. Just come for the burger, omit the rest."
