Our Guestbook
“ Everything was tasty, the Thai Mule cocktail especially would recommend, very refreshing. Food a solid 3.5-4/5, held back from being 4/4.5 for being a bit overpriced. Good place to hang out with friends, though may be a bit loud on a crowded day. Service lovely. ”
“ I just went here with my sister for a Sunday Brunch. And we were both extremely happy with everything, the food, the service and yes the FOOD! We had the Bahnmi B.E.C., Steak and Eggs, and wings. All delicious! I had the Kumkuat Spritz, delicious and my sister had the Passion Fruit Margarita. And our server Flo was just the BEST! So sweet and very helpful. You should check this place out, for sure. ”
“ This place was amazing! When you walk in you can be a little deceived. The music was r&b/hiphop, the walls look like some other century then the tables are like farm house maybe- a lot going on and I guess perfect example of expat! Everything was great and fresh. I would come here a million times over. The table seating isn't the best but the food is so good you make due. I would order it all again besides the chicken wings they weren't cooked enough for me and I asked for well done (other drawback was that they couldn't do all flats). They even had GF soy sauce and I was amazed and so happy for that. The food didn't come out all together but still was great. They didn't have many servers but they were still quite attentive. Also the table we sat at was very wobbly and we kept trying to put napkins under it but it eventually worked. I recommend and hope when I come back it's just as good as this time. ”
“ This spot is a cool gem. Appreciated the vibes that they had and cool atmosphere. Really enjoyed the Roti with curry chicken when I came here back in 2020 ”
“ Such a cute and unique place. Stopped here for brunch with my coworkers and was glad we went. The dishes are so interested that I shared two with my buddy just because we wanted to sample it all. Also, you can't go wrong with a bottomless mimosa situation..just putting that out there. ”
“ Servers were super friendly and ambiance was fun. Dimly lit place with a 1900s theme. Satay chicken nachos were huge and delicious, loved the peanut sauce on it and the crispy tortillas. Curry was also tasty. Taking off a star for desserts. The creme brulee was not a creme brulee. The top had no crust at all, just a soggy thin film of slightly browned sugar. The lychee rose flavor was off in the dish too. It was also a really tiny portion for how much it cost (the dish looks wide, but it's really shallow). The other dessert (brownie and ice cream) was also a pretty small portion :( ”
