This place has great food! The staff is amazing, and if you have special dietary needs they are VERY accommodating. Plus they have a large assortment of GF -gluten free items. Just look! GF cookies!
Whitney JardineJuly 16, 2015Our burgers were awesome! Had the ahi tuna and falafel burgers. Sweet potato oup was also amazing. Fresh, natural, cozy, cute place, with awesome and prompt service. Total win!
Kristen MullarkeySeptember 13, 2013Best restaurant in Dayton! Ask the waitress to help...I got a sampler since I couldn't decide, everything was amazing. BYOB and you must get dessert!
If you have special dietary needs or food allergies, they will go out of the way to accommodate. Probably the best place for a gluten free diet in Dayton, or if you are eating vegan or macrobiotic.
Savannah ReedJanuary 6, 2015The urban burger is amazing. I love their Greek yogurt parfait for dessert! I've never had a bad experience here. But make sure you make a reservation!

Claire StaruchMay 15, 2012make sure to call and make a reservation beforehand!! it's a small but amazing place. get the Tuscan grilled cheese.- Tea from Basically British with cinnamon spiced honey jarred in Xenia is my favorite thing to drink here when I need a lift.

Nice people and great good, what more could you want. All the food is local.- Olive DiveFebruary 14, 2015new menus are up at
Sam RaudabaughOctober 11, 2014Saturday brunch is blissful. Biscuit sandwich + sausage + Olive press coffee = proof God exists- I love this place, good food and great people, only one thing. I wish it was bigger.
- The burger is on the small side. Get the trio of Greek salad, tomato bisque & grilled cheese + a side of fried leeks- awesome!
You can't go wrong with the food here. The special is always good. And the socca are awesome!
Check Facebook for the daily specials and pictures of them :) it'll get your taste buds going !!!
Try the Grill Cheese and the chicken soup! Cherry Cobbler (gluten free!) is a must as well!
- Baklava + Jeni's Goat Cheese with Cognac Figs = a phenomenal dessert pairing!
The Grilled Cheese w/ Tomato Bisque is AMAZING! Add a mexican bottle of coca-cola for the perfect "Ahhhhh"
Definitely try the French "toast" Croissant!!! And they have the BEST greek yogurt!!
The cash discount is 2% here. And you are helping local business!- Greek yogurt with blackberries and honey is an out of this world experience!
It's good, but it is very small. I find it annoying that I need a reservation for brunch.
