I should preface my review with the note that my daughter and I had just come from Riga, Latvia. The restaurant prices there are roughly a third of what they seem to be here. So I had a bit of sticker shock. I understand this restaurant is a cooking school. The food was not bad, but the service was painfully awkward, painfully slow, and painfully inept.

Read moreGreat restaurant run by students from the university just nextdoor. Food is extremely good-value and very high quality with a lot of options for vegetarians or vegans also (try for example their pumpkin gnocchis).
