SERVICE - Very kind attentive waiters. They are uniformed and polite. Greeted right away as soon as you enter the door. Seating doesn't seem to be an issue because you are given the opportunity to pick and choose where you want to sit. You get to pick indoors or outdoors.

FOOD - (CRAB CAKE SLIDERS)  - This is a crab cake patty enclosed in a warm thick oven-fresh bun. Within each bite from this slider exists a slight crunch from the outer layer of the crab cake and a smooth finish with the taste of seasoned crab. Delicious. Also next to these sliders you will find crispy fries. The fries aren't greasy or too salty. This is a perfect side to a crab cake slider.

(Chicken Chipotle Club)- This is a chicken chipotle sandwich topped with bacon , Swiss cheese, and avocado. Perfect combination. Again you will find that fresh oven baked bread in this sandwich too. Chicken was tender and full of flavor. The avocado brought out a soft feel in your mouth in each bite. Instead of fries, this dish offered a side salad. Even though if I did love the sandwich I think that the offer for a dressing would of been a bit suitable. At least offer, you might have some customers that would want it. 

ATMOSPHERE -Very quiet and peaceful. The waiters calm voices and friendly tones allow to feel stress- free when ordering for you and your partner. The place makes you feel like you have all the time in the world and to get to know who you are with and no feeling of rush. As you walk into the bistro the smooth jazz music will hover the entire place. Some of it can also still be heard from the seats outside. If you are on a romantic brunch or dinner date, this is a great mood setter.

RECOMMENDATION - Perfect place for a Sunday brunch. It will be impressive to your date with the service quality and foods. Location is close by to the Essex Street light rail station and other local transportation and piers.
