Amazing food, not my first time here. I was super disappointed with the behaviour of the waiter, giving attitude from the start. I tried to be understanding because maybe he had a bad day, but once it came time to give me the bill, he threw it at me. I'm honestly very surprised, I have no more words.
Amazing staff always genuinely kind & patient always interact with my kid & make them laugh, food is really good but what really seals the deal is there 10/10 service every waiters ive interacted with where the best
My husband & I had the best time! Long over do date night out. The food was delicious & the manager Harry was such a gentleman & so hospitable!We will definitely go back again soon.
The food & the service were both amazing! It was fresh & well seasoned! Had such an amazing experience when I went with my family & looking forward to heading back there again very soon!
The food is solid, & they have a good steak special every Thursday night that's definitely worth checking out. They also offer a nice selection of drinks.
Service has always been great-no complaints there.
It does get busy, especially on weekends & even on Thursdays, so it's best to come early, put your name down, & wait to be called. Once you're seated, it's a very enjoyable experience.
Overall, a reliable place with good food & great service.
