    We all had the Halibut with celery root puree & haricot vert. It was absolutely delicious. Dinnertime (on a Monday) was much quieter than lunchtime so it was nice that it wasn't too loud. Also they didn't rush us out. We lingered & chatted even after we paid the bill. Much enjoyed.

    The food and service were both phenomenal. Nothing beats Sally’s Apizza. We also had a very attentive server who ensured that our order was accurate and that our beverages never ran dry. Highly recommended.

    Such a beautiful place with the best food I have had in a long time. The chairs at the table were so incredibly comfortable, the right amount of soft and support, and the service was incredible. Everyone there was so friendly and they checked on us perfectly so we never had to wait on another drink. I HIGHLY recommend the steak frites, the fries that come with it are the best tasting fries, it was indescribable. The ambience, food, comfort, service, everything was a 10/10 and I WILL be coming back for more. 100% recommend for everyone to try this place, it will not disappoint.
