Julie B.Julie B: Love the back garden... So peaceful. Great brunch spot!

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: The back garden seems to require "reservations". While the parlour, with it's limited space, is relaxed, so is the service. Be mindful of Euro portions, and prices! At least it's chic and tasteful.
