Plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If those spots are full, you can always try the upper level.
We ate the bread, hummus and olive 🫒 platter. It tasted good but I thought a little short on some of the items.
The staff were friendly and efficient.
A great place to sit and watch the buzz of city life.
