A very enjoyable lunch. The curried cauliflower was something to write home about and the lavender gin fizz was creative and very tasty. The service was friendly. I enjoyed the music too. Service is a bit slow but t think that’s because the food is well prepared.

The menu was small not really appealing. We ended up ordering something off the regular menu when we initially all wanted seafood but....... The waitress was great, the drinks were really good, the ambiance was cool and the food was okay. Not a bad experience but a little disappointed

Come here once a year for my birthday and the fried chicken never disappoints. This year I had the pleasure of Mary waiting on me and my girlfriend and I can honestly say I have never met more of a kind and genuinely good hearted person. Give that lady a raise.
