The tasting menu was interesting and delicious. Everyone was more than satisfied with the tasting menu and their choice for the main course. The only thing we all found was that the noise level was high and it was sometimes difficult to hear or follow the conversation. Otherwise, an evening enjoyed by all. Service was excellent and great care was extended about one of the dining member's allergies.

Outstanding and unpretentious service. Fabulously friendly and caring. The "Happy Days" menu certainly keeps the cost very reasonable, especially for this high a level of tasty dishes. Both pastas we had, "spicy vodka" and "bolo" (pork/beef ragu) were delicious. We took the bolo home for dinner and it heated up with no fuss nor muss. Microwaving it to reheat without any additions whatsoever and it was perfect!! The burger is fantastic, dripping with yummy sauce and melted American cheese. Fries cooked well and totally addictive. And the bang bang shrimp to start were cooked beautifully with a wonderful spice level and a fine textural crunch. We were happy campers and will be back to try the rest of the menu. 😁
