Love the ambiance of this cafe in Lawrenceville, located very close to Piccolo Forno and the 40th street bridge. I had heard great things about the restaurant and was excited to try it out.
The place is packed and with a lengthy waitlist on Sunday mornings. We got there and had our name on the list by 10:45 am and still had to wait about an hour to get seated. And then, getting our meals took a long time also. I actually went with the server's suggestion and got a special (smoked salmon frittata) - not the best, it turns out. The frittata was especially dense and nothing to write home about and it came with 2 small pieces of smoked salmon on top. Hmmm. The french toast and sage ham meals that I saw looked good, and probably would be my choice the next time. Later, I heard that avoiding the specials and sticking to the basics of the menu is usually your best bet.
Price-wise, it's about on par with other brunch locations in the city. While a bit more inconvenient with respect to the wait and location, I am sure I will be back here for the different menu options and the charm of the cafe.
