Staff were lovely and incredibly helpful in regards to the menu and explaining some options for us. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. We had crispy tofu and fries. They have a nice amount of vegan options available on their menu. It's definitely worth a visit, and I will absolutely be returning with more friends in the future.

The owner was incredibly kind, striking the perfect balance of attentive customer service and giving me space to relax and enjoy my meal with a good book. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making it the best dining experience I've had in a while. I will definitely be returning before I leave.
