Good food

The place it's pretty tiny and has only a bar for sitting, but feels cozy and it's nicely decorated. It's in the 3rd floor (take the elevator). The food was delicious and had a wide variety of veggies in it, all of them perfectly cooked. the thing is the portions were to small and I ended up having to buy something else in my way home at the conbini because I was still hungry. The prices, which at first seem to be quite fair, end up being a bit too much for what you get. The lady seemed very nice, but in our case the food took a very long time to arrive, even though we were only 7-8 people in there. She did apologize for it and maybe it was a one time thing. We went for dinner and I saw they had a menu for morning-lunch time, which looked nice. It's also a wine bar so probably a lot of people go there to enjoy that with a bit of food. Plus they had a wide range of coffee and tea.
I only recommend it if you're around east Shinjuku and don't want to go to Ain:soph Journey (which is more on the pricey side, but it's a better experience overall), or if you're just looking for a place to have a coffee/tea/wine along with some light meal.

3,5/5

Pros: Good flavors and healthy food, Cozy

Cons: Small portions , Slow service
