We were seated straight away. Sat outside, really nice atmosphere. Staff were lovely and explained how the ordering worked. I had the nourish bowl and it was delicious! The other guests enjoyed their meals too. We had plenty of time to get to our event. Would definitely go there again.

My husband and I organised to eat here prior to the Luke Combs concert. I’m very glad we did. The atmosphere was great, music to suit what band was playing. Staff had a great vibe about them. Service was prompt, great little QR code at your table made ordering of food or drinks continuously a breeze. Delivered quickly! Food was really yummy. (You have to order from the pre events menu, has all food options available for the carnivores, vegetarian, vegan etc) Nothing to complain about at all. 🤠🤠
