Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for impressing but can feel staged - better for 2nd or 3rd date when you want to show you put thought into it
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunch maybe, but weekend brunch absolutely requires advance booking - they're booked solid
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids (8+) who can appreciate fancy food - the pastry case is a huge hit, but it's pricey for picky eaters
Best For
Better for: Instagram photos, celebration brunches, and taking home beautiful pastries - the pastry display alone is worth the visit
Skip if: You want a quiet intimate meal, are on a budget, or prefer casual neighborhood vibes over scene-y atmosphere
