    We were very happy we came here! We don't normally bring our 10yo daughter to nicer places but the experience was fantastic. Sam is such a kind person and we are always taken care of with them. We were in a time crunch to go see a performance close by and the team made us ready to go right on time. Food is always spectacular, atmosphere is lovely.

    Wonderful surprise! This small restaurant has fantastic food, highly recommended the Mushroom dish with Lion’s Mane mushrooms! Also, the twist on Trini Doubles were amazing! Adam at the bar made a wonderful cocktail based on our likes and dislikes and was a great host! Nothing but superlatives.
