We had a wonderful lunch today to celebrate my mother’s 77th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Our server, Josh, was exceptional—attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make my mom feel special on her big day. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable. Highly recommend!

First time going here and always wanted to try it. Definitely felt like a locals hang out with a few people celebrating birthdays that gave it some charm. Not very crowded and service was great. Loved the sticky buns, but they seem better suited for an after dinner treat.
