- JSJack Santos4 days ago4.0I visited this restaurant with a few colleagues this week for lunch. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant—restaurant‑like, but nothing particularly memorable. The food selection was good, although overpriced for a lunch menu. I ordered a burger and fries. To be honest, I’ve had better at far less expensive restaurants. Specifically, it came on a basic white bun and the meat patty was harder than a burger should be. On the positive side, the fries were crispy and tasty. Overall, I was reasonably satisfied with the visit and I will return at some point. However, I will try other restaurants before I cycle back.

- JLJason Harrison lakeNov 29, 20253.0My wife and I had dinner tonight. We ordered two appetizers and two mains thinking we would have a couple drinks and take our time enjoying dinner. However, both appetizers and both mains came out at the same time before we even had our drinks served. Food was good, but felt very rushed and the food was cold before we had a chance to eat it all.
