    The food and drinks were very tasty, service was good and I appreciate all the vegetarian options that were available! It was just my partner and I and we got a nice little table near the window, which we both enjoyed! It was our first time and will definitely be back. I got the Yule cocktail and mushroom sammy, he got fish and chips and a sour. A little bit expensive (about $70 before tip in total), but worth it for the quality and experience.

    We came for lunch with neighbors. It was their first time. 2 in the group have hearing issues so we scheduled lunch for 1 pm. The place was packed when we arrived but as the lunch rush passed the noise level dropped, making for an enjoyable lunch. The service was prompt and friendly. Our neighbors split a burger which was brought out already split on 2 plates. Very nice. We all enjoyed our lunch and our neighbors are excited to return. We love this place.

    This was our first visit and we loved it. Great little find and the fact that your food is original and healthy means we will be back! Very reasonably priced as well.
