Consistently good food and service. They added a signature menu but I was happy to see the classic menu. Love the lime chicken.

Lovely setting. Great menu with plenty of great options. Line chicken was excellent and whole chicken nice shareable offering. Portions were very good. Press issue if you have any allergies (nuts) as not always evident and waiter missed it. Avoided item once served as we were suspicious. Nice vibe.

Service was wonderful! Tenderloin and curry were delicious! Catch if the day- sea bass, was good. Avoid the smash burger- too greasy. Plates of bread were offered when we arrived. Then we were offered a bowl of chips and tasty guacamole. We enjoyed these nice extras! It was a lovely family Christmas dinner!

As a first-time guest, we would love to hear about your local favorites and specials without having to prompt the response. The atmosphere could use some background music to live up the place a bit.

Great atmosphere, but the food leaves a lot to be desired for the price. The cocktail was watery and not well mixed for the price. Stop for a beer at the bar and you will be happy.
