Dear reader I can only concur what others have positively written. This was our first time to the neighbourhood in October, and looking for a short stop. We found the restaurant still open, willing to serve us, even though this was close to mid afternoon closing time. I were thankful that we had the opportunity to try some food. It was amazing. People were great. Atmosphere was awesome. And overall well worth you taking the time to visit. Highly recommended. Like us, I hope you enjoy the fare which is on offer. We will certainly go back.
