Honestly, the food here is incredible—I can’t stress that enough. Everything was cooked to perfection. It was such a good vibe for a Sunday night, and I’m actually curious to come back when it’s packed just to see how lively it gets. I had the Impossible cheeseburger with spicy mayo (swapped for real beef) and the flavor was super unique and delicious. Service was surprisingly fast, too. The fries and tater tots were hits, and while the mac and cheese was a little bland, I still polished it off because the rest of the meal was so solid.

A friend and I came here for Sunday brunch. Our waiter, Bill, made this experience. Best waiter ever! He was extremely friendly and helpful. He shared some history of this restaurant that used to be a bookstore but looks like a former automotive repair shop with its roll-up doors. I wanted to try something new, so I asked about the Shakshucka. I was hesitant about ordering it at first, but the waiter reassured me that if I didn’t like it, he would bring me something else. I tried it, and it was very tasty, but it’s not what I wanted for breakfast. It was more of a tomatoy saucy dish that should be placed on pasta for dinner, in my opinion, so the waiter brought me their Bacon Jam Benedict which was good. He let me take home the saucy dish, and I plan to put it on my pasta. I like that I could get real creamer and raw sugar for my coffee. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. There are unique chandeliers throughout. There are multiple bars. The bathroom was clean and very unique in it’s style. I highly recommend this place. Ask for Bill. 😉

We made a reservation through Resy, but since we arrived early, the staff was able to accommodate us without any issue. The restaurant is very big, and at the time of our visit it wasn’t busy, so the atmosphere felt pretty relaxed.
For food, we ordered from the kid’s menu — cheesy eggs with tater tots — and also tried the Cafeteria 15L. The service was smooth and the dishes came out fairly quickly.
As for the taste, everything was decent, though I found the food to be on the salty side. The flavors were straightforward and nothing really stood out as memorable. Overall, it was an average experience.

Service was great and portions of food are big! We came here on a Saturday night expecting it to be busy (we are from out of town) and is was nearly empty. We ordered trio fries, mac n cheese, fish n chips, prime rib and a smokes dessert. The mac n cheese was the best I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time, we did add bacon to it which added more flavor. The trio fries were delicious, they have a yummy dressing that pairs very well with the sweet potato fries. The prime rib was good, only wish the mashed potatoes and prime rib had more flavor. The smore dessert was one of the things we did not enjoy. The marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers are great as they come out of the oven, but the brownie underneath it all was very dry and did not taste sweet. Other than that we enjoyed our time here. Will be back next time we are in town.

Love coming here for Sunday brunch because the food & vibes are incredible. There’s typically a short wait on Sunday’s for brunch around 12 so I recommend getting a reservation but we haven’t waited longer than 15 min for a table for 2 or 4. I highly recommend the French toast it’s so yummy, topped with the best whipped cream, fruit purée sauce, and fresh fruit. Also love their skillets, can’t go wrong on any of those. For vegetarians, the farm skillet is amazing. Next time I’m trying the espresso martini flight!! 10/10 recommend caf 15L! (Note for Amex plat peeps – get that resy credit 😉 )

We came to celebrate our friend’s birthday with brunch. The brioche french toast is amazing! The watermelon kiwi mocktail was delicious as well. Service was a bit spotty but it was very busy so no biggie. Beautiful place. The bathroom is a bit strange as there is windows at the front so you see into the men’s bathroom and vice versa. A good experience overall and I would love to go back and try the dinner menu.

Went in for a quick lunch. Service was quick and friendly. The food was pretty good! The tomato soup and grilled cheese was a perfect combo. Still came out to a little over $20 with tip so not the cheapest lunch as the menu is the same for lunch or dinner.
But it was quality and I’d return!

Fantastic restaurant. Food was top-notch! As dessert we ordered the butterscotch sundae and it was the best ever! Service can be slow during rush hour. It’s always a best idea to reserve beforehand.

Really nice, stylish spot with a calm patio vibe and a more upscale feel than expected. The cocktails were well made and the desserts hit the spot, especially if you’re craving something classic. Food was solid overall, but a couple items felt a bit pricey for the portion size. Still a great place to come back for drinks and dessert.
