We try to come at least once every two weeks. I really hope that the promises by the government to upgrade the kitchen comes through soon. The food they somehow bring out of the kitchen is amazing with the problems in that kitchen. Will continue to return, great place and Initiatives. A must go to place.

All four of us had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Detour. The food was exceptional, and the service was delightful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—it truly made our day special. Thank you, Detour!

Had a great meal the other night. My wife has issues with gluten and most artificial colours flavours and enhancers. It was a great relief to find a restaurant that takes this seriously. Will be back.
