We all had the fried chicken dinner. The chicken was flavorful, hot and moist. We would definitely order it again. We sat in the bar but it wasn’t very loud. It was a weekday and not very busy in there. Service was great!

Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.
