Place looks really interesting though with lots of trinkets and things hanging in the ceiling. Good thing: 13 dollar cover charge and 13 dollar minimum BUT Free WINE Free Soup or Salad Free Cappuccino Free Garlic Bread Cappucino - too sweet for me Lasagna! Sooo good! Chicken Parmigiana - It is like Chicken Patty with Tomato Sauce. Yummy Meatballs - one of their classics Minestrone - quite good!

You have to ask for it though. Pretty good coffee and perfectly served and great art! 2016-12-20 Came back for a second time and asked for a nutella latte.  Pretty sweet for me and thus, for those who prefer NUTELLA, go ahead and order it! Asked for Rainbow latte and one was made with a Rainbow swan! Sweet!

Tried out their two popular dishes, Sluts and Fairfax Sandwich on Dec. 19, 2016. Fairfax Sandwich Cage-free soft scrambled egg, chives, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, Sriracha sauce in a warm brioche bun. What I think?  It's actually quite good.  I like brioche bun and the Sriracha sauce adds a twist to it. Slut Cage-free coddled egg on top of housemade potato puree, cooked in a glass jar topped with gray salt and chives served with baguette What I think?  It's basically puree with egg and so
