There was a group of 6 of us for dinner before the Pentatonic show. The service was great and the food was delicious. They have the best baked French onion soup!! Their smash burger, Brussel sprouts and chicken wrap were very tasty too. I would definitely eat there again!

First time customers, referred by friends. I was very impressed with the service, ambiance and quality of food. The price was slightly high but well within the range for the food and drinks we got. The chicken is worth the hype. Crunchy; juicy and so so good. Went there for brunch and it was a very good experience. Highly recommended. Will go again: Join the social club for your free pint glass.
