We had lunch with friends here, and EVERYTHING was outstanding. All of the entrees were excellent; my wife and one of our friends had the burger, and both were raving about the burger. My other friend had the salmon... and absolutely cleaned his plate! I had the Dover sole, and in all honesty, it was just as flavorful and well-prepared as the same dish I had at a Michelin three star restaurant, but at around half the cost! This is a treasure waiting for you to find; trust me: it is truly worth it to do so!
