★★★★★ 5.0 Mathilda Smith · Nov 2025

Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Starting with the service, we arrived as a party of five and got seated immediately without a reservation. The waitress was quick with our order, and she even went out of her way to find me tea! She was very present with a warm energy for all her tables. We did not catch her name, but if you see the redhead with long hair and blue eyes, you can tell her she was awesome! Second, with the food, we were also very impressed with the quality of the flavors and presentation. We got the fish and chips, two dark horse burgers, the seafood chowder and the Mushroom truffle flatbread. We then ended with two deserts, which were a bit small but still delicious. Everyone was full and please by the end of the meal. We would recommend all those options. For

We ate here for lunch on St. Patty's Day. I got the Guinness steak burger (which was a holiday special) and my partner got the shepherd's pie (with ground lamb). We also split a slice of carrot cake. Everything was delicious! My partner, who loves carrot cake, said it was the best she's ever had. The service was prompt and polite. They were very busy, but we didn't have to wait long at all. There is a small art gallery on the upper floor of the building selling photos and paintings by local artists. All of the works were for sale. It was neat to walk through and look at everything.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dawson Nash · Dec 2025

For its space, the menu is extensive and has something for everyone. My Virgin Mary was dekiciously spicy and the Reuben I ordered exceeded expectations. The side of wide fries were hot and crispy. The lamb burgers here are also excellent. I.look forward to returning and trying more menu options.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jay Can · Feb 2026

Empanadas are good but the Fish and chips were very well done, as well as their DH burger. Great customer service as well. Only wish I could have tried some more food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tess Hill · May 2025

This was the perfect place for a rainy day lunch. The restaurant has a lot of character, lots of seating, indoor and out. The service was very fast and friendly. We enjoyed our food and will be back again.
