I was quite the fan of the Garden Cottage which originally occupied this space, but I have also been completely happy with the offerings of Sweet Divas decadent bistro. My servers have always been pleasant and friendly and the food tasty. The decor makes me half expect to see Holly Golightly sachet in for a petite pastry and I always leave looking forward to coming back. Oh, and the house is adorable!
