The steak was cooked very well , very juicy . The only thing I would say is request to add a bit more salt when they cookit or just add it yourself when they bring it out to you. Also drinks were amazing . Would definitely go back again

I strongly recommend making a reservation, especially if you have a specific time in mind. When I arrived at 12:30, I saw several people being turned away. However, arriving just after 1 PM seems to improve your chances of getting a table. The service was friendly, and there is outdoor seating available. On my first visit, I sat at the bar, which offered a nice open view. During my second visit, I was seated at a small two-person table near the entrance. Although the restaurant is spacious, the relatively tall dividers made me feel a bit cramped since they mostly blocked the view except for the cashier area. Sitting facing inward made the view less obstructed. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and they serve excellent French press coffee! Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos during my visits.

The portions are generous, perfect for sharing. Just keep in mind that during busy times, the service can be somewhat inconsistent due to a small waitstaff handling all the tables.
