a few issues, not great

moldy grout limited menu
the bathroom was pretty rough. the tile grout had mold, and honestly, it just reminded me of it needed a serious update. also, the restaurant's menu seemed super limited. the specials weren't really daily, like they advertised, and the food wasn't amazing, so i only ate there once. good coffee though, i will give them that.
