I love this place but it’s not the same city it use to be. The riots have scarred our city like I’ve never seen. I’m not sure I would suggest being downtown at night but during the day is safe. Especially at Christmas it is beautiful at the square.

There are a few tables that slowly go up and down and turn. Ask for that and don’t tell your other guests and watch them reach for their coffee or dessert only to have it turn to the other side. Super fun!!
