    Great food, great service. Obliging staff. We had a variety of food, some gluten free. Like the idea of smaller or larger portions on certain foods. Ideal if you want to make sure you have room for pudding.

    Don't come here if you want a warm welcome. Surly staff made us feel like we were a burden on them. Not a smile from either of the girls working there. Food was nice - and hot, no complaints there. A warmer welcome would have made our visit so much better
