I visited with my partner on Saturday. Picked the new veggie burger. It was the best veggie burger I have had. Also had a sweet. They look small but actually are enough. Really nice.

Booked a table for our anniversary and notified beforehand but upon arrival we may as well as just walked in off the street,in fact unsure that our pre booking had even been acknowledged.
