I swing by this place every now and then and I love it. You can get Absinthe in the traditional fountain manner at the bar, and the food is great. The people complaining about the portions are clearly not used to eating french food. I have had several dishes over the years and they have all been top notch. And when I brought someone that was gluten intolerant, the chef whipped up something especially for her.

I've eaten an Burger Lounge for many years and love the food. Have been craving their turkey burger all week and finally ordered it tonight. I was horribly disappointed. The burger patty was so thin, only about 1/8 inch thick. Could hardly taste any basil in the patty. Got a gluten free bun and that was huge. The entire burger was VERY dry, hard to eat. This is the 2nd time I've had unsatisfactory food from this location. In the future I'll try a different location to see if it's any better, but not this location again.

Really good market full of high quality organic foods, meats, vegetables, vegetarian stuff, vegan stuff, gluten free stuff, etc. Think Sprouts but smaller. They have a deli, and make various breakfasts stuff to go in the morning, and sandwiches, pasta, quiches, desserts, etc. in the afternoon. They have a ton of kombucha (think they make their own too). They have wines, micro brewery beers, and a good assortment of cheese and well. Some outside seating if you want to hang and eat there too.

A great neighborhood café. They have gluten free paninis, pizza and pastry. Indoor and outdoor. Street parking is ok. My only feed back is to add basil to the salmon panini :)

Super cute, clean, delicious, and great customer service. I had the Hash bowl and the poached eggs were perfect! Coffee was amazing. They even had gluten free toast for me! Highly recommend! I can see it's a local treasure!

My neighborhood favorite. The breakfast especially is delicious and all the food is definitively authentic. You can eat your whole plate until you're full and regardless, will not feel heavy. Gluten free options galore. Celiac safe / celiac friendly.
