I love going here to study. I do not recommend the pancakes they were dry and chewy. The soups they have though are always tasty. The ambiance is relaxing. I think it would be a nice place to go if you want to catch up with someone or have a casual date. The sandwiches are good, too. Sometimes if the place gets crowded they move you to a smaller table if a bigger group rolls around, that can get annoying. There is valet parking, but if you are wiiling to drive around you can park in the neighborhood. Also you can risk it and park at the nearby Ralph's, but I heard they check sometimes.
