    On my first visit at any restaurant, I always order a burger, (if they can’t make a proper simple hamburger patty nothing else on the menu matters) I ordered the sirloin burger, prepared to my taste (medium) Superb!!! all the ingredients tasted superbly fresh, and farm to table high quality ingredients are used. ( “my high discerning palate says so”). The Presentation was lovely the waitstaff very attentive and accommodating to our requests and needs the ambiance is very unassuming yet elegant with its mid century modern decor. The drinks were spot on and they have an Apple Tart a’ la mode dessert, which is to die for. I absolutely love it his place!!! , and plan or returning real soon. Highly recommended.
