I hosted my 2year old birthday party there. The place is beautiful and ohw the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Maria the owner is the best, she is so welcoming. she advised us about how to go about planning the party and it turned out amazing. I did the decor myself thanks to her advice and tips. Ohw and I love the interior design. Food is tasty. The place is good for breakfast, kids friendly it has a nice playing area, there is a spa, hosting birthday, weddings and much more

The food is great. The service is fast and effective. Children can play. The costs are reasonable. I highly recommend this as a venue and restaurant. I know there are a few reviews that were not to nice about this place but I must say from my experience (and I go there every week) that this place is the place to be on a Saturday morning with your mom or for a light lunch with friends. It feels like you are treated as family and it does truly feel amazing to be in that "zone" of awe putting appearances.... The food is made fresh and the drinks are nice and cold. There are a few things that I would've done differently if it was my place (such as making a designated smoking zone) but This place is so fun to eat at and the kids enjoy it too
