Cons:

  • "Very disappointed with the meal especially despite the price. The drinks were filled to the brim with ice, so there was barely any actual drink."

  • "I kid you not I was stone cold sober after it with a sugar high. The food is mediocre however the saving grace of it was Steph who was our server and an absolute gem."
  • "The poached eggs from the kitchen were quite overcooked (more like boiled eggs) but otherwise the food was great too."
  • "I had one of the burgers and sweet potato fries which were great! Also had cocktails which kept all of us satisfied! A lot of spicy food, but I Would recommend!"
