"Absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to go back. Three of us stopped in for lunch on Tuesday afternoon and we were all glad we chose this place.
The staff were incredible and the decor and vibe were incredible.
All three of us loved all our meals and drinks. The Guava Margarita was a highlight.
Really nice menu, great selection of drinks and really knowledgeable staff.
We found this place to be extremely great value given the quality and setting."
Luke Jackson
"We had dinner with our friends after a long time, but our reservation got canceled due to the weather. We quickly found this restaurant, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We enjoyed the special steak, oysters, and pork tomahawk. The food was delicious! We even ordered chips twice and had great desserts. Overall, it was a fantastic meal."
Tylor J
"I had a wonderful experience at this charming restaurant. This place was perfect for catching up with friends. The service staff, Coralie was incredibly friendly and attentive, genuinely eager to ensure we had everything we needed. She checked in with us after our meal to make sure we were satisfied, which I truly appreciated.
Overall, a fantastic place with a welcoming vibe and attentive service that makes you want to return."
