While some have noted occasional delays with food orders, the overall charm and quality of the offerings make it a highly recommended spot.
"Update to owners reply: the place was half empty it wasn't busy at all. Yes I could go to another table and bother people to get seasoning but why should I annoy them? Please put seasoning on all tables rather than two.
Initial service is quick. Iced coffee was nice. Took ages to get my potato. Needed some seasoning but none on table and none offered. No apology for really late food."
