Went for a date night and had checked out the menu online in advance just to get an idea what they had. The server was super nice but the food wasn't exactly what we expected. The chicken wings were great but the calamari did not look at all like the image they had online. It did not taste fresh and was tossed in a really sweet sauce that just made the entire dish pretty soggy. Chicken burger was a little disappointing with the smallest fried chicken patty barely visible under the bun but at least the fries were good.

Food took a very long time. No one else on the patio. One appetiser was excellent. Our main dishes were warm-ish and took over 45 mins. Maybe they were sitting waiting to be brought to the table. Two servers, who were nice, for two customers but not sure what was happening in the kitchen. Hope things improve and that they make a go of it.

Fries were greasy. Mac N Cheese mediocre. The salad didn't have enough dressing. The music was stuttering in and out of play. Nothing on tap, no dessert menu.

An unexpected surprise. The menu was outstanding and the service was great. They were newly opened when we visited and would definitely return for another visit.
