My daughter and I enjoyed our dining experience here. Our food was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was able to cater for my gluten and dairy intolerances. The restaurant was wheelchair accessible which we needed for my daughter. The soft lighting and peaceful music gave it a pleasant, soothing ambience.
