Ate here today. The beef stew was absolutely delicious and so was the lava cake for dessert. The waitresses were very pleasant. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again if I'm back in the U.S.

We all had burgers and they were great. The sweet potato fries were very good and piping hot! One person in our party got the oysters, said they were the best he ever had!! The sauce in the middle accompanied them beautifully. Devine, was the description he used. The service was very nice. No complaints. I would go again.

The Burger was out of this world! But you have to order fries, it doesn’t come with fries which is kind of a bummer for a $20 burger! The Ravioli was also delicious, pesto was creamy and just the right amount.

This is a must try restaurant. Incredibly friendly waitresses who know the menu like the back of their hand. Their salmon is so soft and delicious, I could eat it all day

My experience here was fantastic. The ambiance was nice, and the friendly staff made our visit feel special. After self-seating, we were attended to immediately, which was great. I ordered the grilled chicken salad, while my girlfriend had the fish tacos. Both meals were full of flavor and came at a surprisingly reasonable price. Although we don’t drink anymore, the bar here is impressive, featuring an extensive drink menu. I can’t wait to return soon to try more entrees. This place is a great stop!

We enjoyed drinks and a late lunch outside on a Sunday. Good food, efficient service, and a nice, central location. Our truffle fries, pastas, and pizzas were nice. The mussels were a little small and the portion was somewhat skimpy.
