The ambiance is pretty fantastic both outside in the patio area and inside—-very chic.

Some of the best hummus I had had in a while - the unique flavor added by the lentils and different textures makes it special, not to mention the hot, freshly baked roti.

Mussel toast with yukons, herbs, and jalepenos

By far one of the most unique items on the entire menu. The mussels taste glorious and the sauce they are swimming. On top of mashed yukon it ties everything together on the toast. The green colour in particular is an Instagramer’s dream.

Pappardelle with pork ragu, kale, and pecorino

Not sure if succulent is the corrective term, but that’s how I would describe it. The fat from the ragu along with the percino takes this dish to another level.
