    The oatmeal is made with coconut milk. Ask for it with figs and berries.

    Grilled cheese special - Cheddar, caramelized onions, and tomato jam on buttery white bread. Delicious.

    Choose a different place to eat leisurely. Otherwise, they will rush you and decide to put their rustic decorations over you even during slow hours.

    It's hard to choose a favorite dish here, but be sure to try the salad with chicken and avocado. So scrumptious. Read more

    The service is really slow. No one seems to have more than 30 second recall for orders. But the food is good and the ambience is good.

    Service was SO terrible, our waitress seemed like she couldn't wait for us to be done, always disappearing to the back exit. Food was pretty good, but we will never return due to the service.

    The scene is cool but the food is a bit overhyped. The chicken Harissa sandwich is hugely overrated. The bacon, however, is not.

    Start with goat cheese and mussels. For dinner, the chicken is excellent.

    Roast beef is delicious BUT you need to try the roasted chicken & manchego, too. Seriously.

    I've only been here for drinks. Note to self: do not get the midnight rambler. My friend though the violet hour tasted like soap but I found it okay

    Brunch cocktails were not that good. Egg sandwich was uninspired. Ambience is very enjoyable

    Great egg sarnie. That's Liev Schreiber sitting in front of The Smile, scowling into his morning coffee.

    The Baguette French Toast is completely underwhelming and overrated. Get the buckwheat pancakes or baked eggs instead.
