My Mom and I reserved a table through Opentable. Although traffic delayed us slightly our table of choice was still waiting for us. The restaurant has outdoor alfresco style seating. The food is unique and fresh, I believe organic. My quiche had too much cheese for my liking however 'cheese' is an American thing. These service was wonderful even though the gal was super busy. I liked the artistic feel to the place and it is next to and owned by the art gallery.

I went twice within two days because I wanted to take my husband after I had been there the day before with a girlfriend. It's my new favorite spot, it's awesome! The gallery of paintings is beautiful and adds to the ambiance. Staff is attentive but does not rush you, its really a great find and I am looking forward to returning soon! Food is excellent!

First if you look at their menu online it is now completely different in the reataraunt. Our waiter said it hasn't been updated in almost a year and they have asked the owner but she still hasn't done anything. This was a big disappointment for my party because we all had something in mind we want which was no longer available since the menu was completely different. Second the food was ok. Very salty and to me not worth 30 bucks for chicken. The dessert however was really good. All in all it is nice that it is a BYOB but for the price of the food j didn't think it was that good

Food was very good, but both dishes were very slightly over done. (Eggs benedict & quiche) Service very good ....... attentive, but not obtrusive.

Went there Friday night with friends from New Jersey and was kind of embarrassed! Our reservation was for 7 at 7:30 and when we got there, only 2 people were dining. Our group dines out mostly in NJ but since it was my birthday, I chose this restaurant. I live here in the Lehigh Valley and we were staying at Hotel Bethlehem, this restaurant was just across the street. Just a little history on our group, we usually dine at byob's...which are abundant in NJ. I love to see our local restaurants thrive!!! The menu which I checked out previous to our visit was ok, but I was expecting specials. No specials...and 6 out of 7 enjoyed their meal. Desserts were exceptional btw! Our server Pih was excellent and we enjoyed his company. I was surprised the chef didn't come out to talk with us, which I found strange because we were the only people in the restaurant. As I said before I want to see local merchants succeed so I will be back!

S-L-O-W SERVICE IS OVERSHADOWED BY DELICIOUS FOOD. REDEEMING FACTOR IS LIKLIHOOD THAT THE MENU ISN'T MASS PRODUCED IN ADVANCE OF SERVING. THE PORTABELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH IS A PERFECT LUNCH SELECTION ABOUNDING IN FLAVOR AND FRESH INGREDIENTS. BE PREPARED TO WAIT, BUT DEFINITELY WORTH THE EFFORT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OUR WAITER ENERTAINED US WITH HIS UNIQUE SENSE OF HUMOR.
