"Super cute restaurant in the West Village. Very small, tight and packed! At least on a Sunday at noon. If you are looking for a menu that has a lot to offer, this is not it. But what they do offer is delicious. Small servings. I ordered the coques madame and my son got the waffle “sandwich” and we were still hungry afterwards, so we split the avocado toast. Be advised- 3 dishes, 1 Americano coffee and 2 ginger sodas was $99 without tip. I still recommend it, but be prepared to spend about $40-50 a person"

"Service is Okay but I said split the bill yet still getting only one bill. The waiter with black hair didn’t stop for a second to ask how I would pay. I was sitting there for minutes waiting for paying with credit card. :( Gladly I have cash so I just left some cash and didn’t pay 20% tips as the bill suggested. Food is decent. Small table, busy place, fair service."

"The place is beautiful with a great atmosphere. The green juice was amazing and so refreshing. The sourdough with eggs and cheese was my favorite dish—absolutely delicious. The almond croissant was just okay and didn’t really stand out, and the waffle was also pretty average. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back."

"Absolutely a beautiful place with cozy little seats. The food is amazing as well for a brunch. We ordered SAUMON FUME and CRQ MADAME. They were small dishes but super tasty and just right ! Also I will recommend to order a chocolate mousse for dessert if you still have some spaces !"
