Really good food in a very nice friendly setting. Coffee was not my style ( I favor sour coffee this one was on a bitter side ) but that's more of a personal preference. The Benedict with mushroom and spinach was perfection 😍

Will not return. I honestly can’t remember the last time I was served by a waitress who so blatantly ignored me. Despite my empty glasses, she walked past me several times without even making eye contact. When I eventually got her attention, she brushed me off and remarked, “Well, you didn’t ask,” even going so far as to compare me to other guests. For me, the basics of good service are simple: keep an eye on the table, clear empty glasses, and ask if anything is needed. In this case, the opposite happened. I’ve eaten here before and always enjoyed the food—which is delicious—but I don’t need to be treated like a child. What I had hoped would be a relaxed, enjoyable lunch ended up being a very disappointing experience, all because of the waitress’s poor attitude. She made me feel as though she was doing me a favour by serving me. That’s simply not acceptable in any restaurant.
