Recent guests have shared enjoyable experiences, noting outstanding service with staff always greeting guests with a smile.

The atmosphere outside at night is highly recommended, enhanced by nicely lit and decorated fairy lights.

Drinks like a Dark and Stormy and a reasonable selection of draft beers and wines by the glass have also received praise.
