Reviews

Came in for breakfast on a Saturday.
Very friendly warm atmosphere.
Service was pretty good had to ask for more coffee and water.
Food was decent but a bit pricey I had the avocado with poached eggs one of the eggs was hard and overdone.
It was also cold but tasty.
Potatoes were great!


My husband and I were introduced to this restaurant by our good friends.
I never knew it was there and live nearby! We have visited twice now, both times in the evening. On visit number 1: The roast chicken dish I had was so delicious.
My husband had the fish and chips.
Those chips are the best! Visit number 2: We went back three weeks later with my mom, our son and his girlfriend.
I tried the burger - amazing.
Mom had fish and chips.
My husband and our son's girlfriend tried the Pie; they said it was good.
They also had cocktails and I tried the Long Island Iced Tea (and I'm not drinker of spirits, but this was refreshingly nice!) As far as the atmosphere, the lighting is too dim and the words in the menu are too small.
I had a hard time reading it.
Otherwise, the service, cocktails, and entrees are great!


Very friendly hostess was very patient and caring despite how busy it was.
(It was so busy people were drinking beer in line while waiting for a seat).
But, just good people serving good food! Had one of the best lattes there too!
