Dinner Party

The menu changes constantly but this is an extremely affordable tasting menu. It's $42 per person and the restaurant has such a homey feel. You can also order a picnic box to go to bring to the park!

Coffee

So this is actually a little shop, but they have a little coffee counter and a secret garden not many people know about. Get a tea or coffee and then sit in the little garden and drink it in peace!
