My party of three arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM, and within 45 minutes the restaurant had a noticeable wait — a sign of its popularity. We were seated with Alexander, who did an excellent job handling my multiple food allergies with care and ensured no cross-contamination.
We began with Vietnamese coffee and beignets. While the frozen version on the menu wasn’t available, I didn’t mind since Vietnamese coffee is typically served iced. The beignets leaned a bit sweet, but the raspberry smear paired well and balanced them nicely.
For entrées, everything was well-prepared: my eggs were cooked thoroughly as requested, the arugula was fresh and crisp, and the sweet potato hash was flavorful. The waffles were excellent — my son especially enjoyed the banana pudding served alongside them. The chilled salmon salad with lemon and artichoke was also a refreshing highlight that we all shared.
To finish, we tried the Dubai chocolate-inspired dessert. It was good overall, though my table had mixed opinions — positive but not the standout dish of the meal.
The only drawback was the atmosphere near our table: several younger staff members gathered at the front and were chatting loudly, which became a distraction.
Overall, we had a great experience with attentive service, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and unique menu options. Despite the minor noise issue, I will happily return.
