Situated on a quiet, tree-lined block across from South Park, this cheery coffeehouse welcomes a daytime crowd of in-the-know locals. Light bistro bites, including baby spinach salad with red wine vinaigrette, brie with fruit and nuts, savory buckwheat crepes and baguette sandwiches, are offered for lunch.

This is a nice little French Restaurant. I went to lunch here with a friend and had one of the pate filled baguettes with the little pickles and a side of organic spinach salad. It was very good but a bit pricey. Service was very good also.

The best French bistro brunch I have had stateside! Come for the food, put up with the ascerbic and uneven service. It'd also located in South Park, which is a great little area to visit on a weekend.

First off, I will say that the food was very good. No complaints about the food. I arrived at the restaurant between lunch & breakfast & ordered a coffee & a pastry. Sat down, the restaurant was pretty much empty. The owner/manager walked over & asked if I was planning on staying for lunch. I was, & let him know that I was meeting a couple of friends. Friends were late, so I ended up ordering lunch on my own about 1/2 hour later (note, i had already ordered food, so I wasn't just sitting at the table lingering). At this point, the restaurant is about 1/2 full. The waitress brings my food, I eat. Literally 2-3 minutes after the waitress clears my plate & brings me a dessert menu, the owner/manager asked me to leave. He said it was ridiculous that I was still at the restaurant and they needed the table. There were still empty tables & I had ordered two meals! I was stunned. I couldn't believe I got thrown out of a restaurant seconds after finishing my meal. This IS NOT the place to go for a leisurely meal. They will move you out of your table if they want to give it to someone else, & tact is not employed here. The food is not worth the shoddy service, poor customer service, & embarassing treatment by someone who clearly doesn't know anything about how to treat a guest.
