Amazing amazing amazing food. I'd say the best breakfast I've had in my trip. We had the deer burger, and the toast clever Trevor. The crispy edges on the burger and the flavour of the mince meat for the toast was fantastic. The only thing we would have preferred more would be to serve the mince meat and the toast separately so that we can control how soggy or crispy we want the ciabatta to be.
albert lee, 5 months agoStopped in for breakfast and ordered the Eggs Benedict. It was fresh, delicious, and cooked just right. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout. A great spot for a relaxed meal—I’ll definitely be coming back.
Sarah Nel, 2 months agoTook my daughter here for her 18th birthday. Food was nice Came out quickly Cocktails were ok,didnt really taste much alcohol in them Staff were friendly and polite. The resturant was cold and there wasnt much heat. Apart from that it was a nice expeeince.
