The staff was super friendly and polite, and the owners were lovely and knowledgeable about fresh food. We returned in the afternoon to get some take-away cakes from the impressive display they had. Each cake was only $2.50 and tasted yum! We can't wait to visit again when we're back in town.

There is ample seating available. The food was presented beautifully (compliments to the chef). The older gentleman who greeted us could have shown a bit more enthusiasm. Overall, I would give this restaurant 4 stars.
