A wonderful dinner menu and everything is thoughtfully put together. Service was excellent and Ryan made excellent recommendations to help us decide. We found the price point to be very reasonable. As well, parking is right next door to the restaurant. Well worth the visit

Love this place! The tacos (and apps!) are phenomenal, the classic margaritas, amazing! And such a fun vibe in the restaurant itself. I took some family and friends that had never dined here and they thoroughly enjoyed it! Will definitely be back and highly recommend! 🙂

We booked a table for dinner for family and they loved the ambience of the place and the hospitality provided by the owner Suzy. The food was quite a mix of flavours and really worked well for us as we were looking for some different delicacies to try in vegetarian. The place also offers gluten free food which was a plus as we had friends who wanted gluten free items. All in all a pleasant evening in a warm environment made for a lovely dinner.

We had a beautiful brunch with Santa. He was so sweet and the food was amazing. I had the sticky chicken and waffles and they were excellent. My 6 year old had the grown up rainbow waffles and devoured the whole plate.
