A lovely place to go out for steak, chips, burgers and more. The food was delicious and the service was great. A lively and cozy atmosphere, although a little bit loud, which is expected. We had a great server named Antoinette, who was very attentive and took care of our every need. Overall an enjoyable experience and I would recommend.
