The food was unbelievable as always. If there was another bartender on, I think we would’ve got our drinks as quickly as I like. A nice touch that the owner came around and asked all of the diners if they were having a good experience. I would eat here every night if the bone marrow was put back on the menu

Beautiful afternoon dining 'in the outdoors'. Perfect ambience in a rural setting, dining on the verandah surrounded by trees and nature. Food and staff service was amazing. Check their website for opening and closing times. Closed at 2pm on Sunday! This is a hidden gem that you need to look out for.
