The food was great but the facility must be one of the most boring Umami Burgers I’ve ever been to.

Food was delish

Tonight, we wait 50 minutes and still no food. We go inside to talk to someone! The lady server was rude and don’t care about us. We left after 1 hour with not eating. It’s not acceptable. We Live at 2 blocks from the restaurant !

They have everything one would find in a good meal. Breakfast is my usual. Pancakes to start buttermilk full stack with butter and syrup a must try like what mom used to make. For those that is a major compliment since I'm sure all of our moms knew how to make delicious brownies. Throw in a full Omelet with mushrooms, onions, avocado, and a little bit of cream cheese and sour cream, then you're in heaven!! So fluffy and cooked just the way you order. Amazing On occasion, I will be ordering Hash Ham and Three Poached Eggs with some onions and cheese on top, and are described as dough toasts. What made my mouth water, just writing about it.

For its food level, the place is very good. Several ordering machines, food is served promptly. There is almost no hall on the first floor, raise it to the second or in warm weather - to the outdoor terrace. The toilets are on the second floor, surprisingly stylish and well finished. Clean. As in other similar institutions, the audience is mostly young people.

We waiting a long time to get our order taken and they forgot 2 orders of fries for our party of six. We left hungry and spent 100.00 on dinner

We arrived and sat ourselves directly since the host at the entrance was on his phone and ignored us. After a few minutes, one of the waitress came and told us off because we were not sat by the host. We got our burgers after more than 30 minutes waiting, even though the place was almost empty. The burgers were good but ridiculously small for the price. When we were done, our waitress seemed to ignore us again so we had to get up and go to the bar to get to check and leave. We were so disappointed and hungry that we ended up at Mc Donald’s to finish our dinner. It’s the first time that it happens to us, I didn’t even know it was possible to leave a restaurant hungry.

Three words: Sweet Potato Fries. Absolutely amazing with various great selfmade dipping sauces. And all of the Burgers I tasted so far are delicious as well (Deluxe Burger, Truffle Burger, Earth Burger, Truffle Burger but vegan - yes they let you swap things in the menu!). Together with the service and the interior design THE BEST restaurant I have visited so far. After seeing that Gordon Ramsey follows this gem on Instagram, I was unwaveringly convinced. Highly recommend.

The burgers here are amazing and the service is some of the best. I strongly recommend you try this place out when you can. They have an awesome selection and the people here are real nice.

Service was spotty, but they were super friendly, the wait time was short, and the food was amazing. Not trying to be anything more than it is, and it’s perfect that way. Just doing what it does best.
