    Great food, albeit a bit expensive. Small, quiety restaurant. Kid options were great, as were the cocktails.

    Wonderful Staff! Fort, the scallops were overcooked and the base underneath had lots of raw onion. The fries were not crispy as requested. And the chicories salad didn’t have the chicories in it.

    On a warmest day, on the patio, having one of the best chicken sandwiches ever. The meat juicy, the slaw a tasty contrast, on a delicious soft bun. The French fries are so crisp and flavorful. Excellent service, great place. Enjoy !
    StarbellyResponded on March 1, 2025
    Hey William! The chicken sandwich is phenomenal, and we're so glad you love it too! We have plenty more where that came from, as well as other wonderful options. Don't hesistate to stop by again soon!
