You can't get a better bistro type cafe in Hyde Park. This is one of the few spots in the community that offers outdoor seating in such a wonderful neighborhood!

They consistently offer superior service and the staff always make my dining experience exceptional! Clearly I'm a fan!

This is probably one of the best Sushi Restaurants that I've gone too in a really long time. The wide menu selection matches that of the Hyde Park area. The service is GREAT. With a friendly and knowledgable staff, it's easy to pick from the extensive menu. If you're looking for something different, order the Chicago Fire Roll, a great play on spices and sauces! It was a pleasure writing this review, hopefully it doesn't fall upon deaf ears .

The sushi is incredibly fresh, may seem weird that they have pizza too but one of the best sushi places I have been to. It is clean, friendly and priced well.

This restaurant is new to my neighborhood, and it's a great installment to a new chapter in the Hyde Park area. The atmosphere, food, and the overall presentation of the restaurant has a clean feeling to it. I love the Rainbow Roll and it get it pretty often, I would highly recommend it. I will definately be regular guest there.

My husband and I were hungry one night and decided to try something new. I am so glad that we did. We ordered the shrimp and rice for an appetizer which was very good. It had a hint of kale which brought a great flavor to the dish. The appetizer was just enough for two people. My husband ordered the Jambalaya stew and the Chicken Club sandwich while I ordered the Spicy Crab roll and a pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by the spicy crab roll and did not realize that they gave you so much. My husband felt that the jambalaya was pretty spicy but very good. Overall the food was excellent and the price was right. I am hoping that more people take time to visit this wonderful restaurant. I think it is a great addition to the Hyde Park area. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and quaint. My husband and I were very impressed.
Note: The final total of our bill was $38.20 including tax and we did order a lot of different things to try. We both had enough food left over for lunch the next day.
