Nestled in Scarborough, this restaurant offers a mixed experience for its patrons. While some diners rave about the beautiful decor, friendly staff, and budget-friendly menu, others express disappointment over subpar food quality and cleanliness. Burnt dishes, soggy fries, and mismanaged orders have contributed to a less favorable impression among guests. Though the establishment boasts a promising atmosphere and good drink selections, the inconsistency in food offerings and outdated facilities overshadow its strengths. While some visitors recommend it for casual drinks, others caution against dining here, suggesting a need for improvement to attract repeat customers.
