“ Loved my expierence here! The vibe is so nice and cozy. A perfect place for a chill drink at the bar or a bite to eat when you just want to tuck in somewhere and hang out. Would love to come back and read a book, get done work done or even study. The food is classic American comfort food like fried foods, fries, burgers, ice cream and so on so I wouldn’t say the menus us anything special but the food is comforting and seasoned well which is all I could ask for from a bar/diner type of place. The pricing is fair and the staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try their breakfast menu! ”
“ Foo was pretty good. I ordered their French Poodle cocktail. The flavor was very nice and smooth. I could actually taste the elderflower in it. Another good thing is that they didn’t leave ice cubes in there. The drink was nice a chill, and didn’t get diluted by the melted ice over time. For appetizer I ordered crab cake. It was pretty nice. It actually tasted fresh, the crab meat was fresh, sweet and flaky. The aioli was also very nice, and tasted like a heavier version of pesto. I ordered their fish and chips as my main course. The portion was huge. 4 big chunks of cod fish. The batter was so light and crispy, and the cod was so fresh, juicy and flaky. However, the crispy outside didn’t last too long. The fries were just ordinary. Towards the end, it felt kinda heavy when I was trying to finish my last piece of fish. The staff was nice, but sometimes it takes longer to be serviced. Overall, it’s a nice restaurant. Probably the best fish and chips I have had for a long time. ”

“ I honestly cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience I had. My daughter, my mother in law and I stopped for lunch before going to see a show and we had the best experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. They were all so sweet to my daughter and even sang her happy birthday. I will absolutely return. ”
“ My wife and I came here with our 1-year-old, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food and ambience were already fantastic — everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — but what really stood out was the kindness and warmth of the people running this place. Every time our little one got fussy, the managers (I believe the owners as well) came by to check in. They were so sweet and patient — not only did they make us feel completely at ease, but they even brought our baby a little toy to help calm him down. That small gesture meant so much to us as parents. It’s rare to find a restaurant that not only serves great food but also genuinely cares about their guests, no matter their age. We left with full hearts (and stomachs!) and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone — especially families — looking for amazing food and truly exceptional hospitality. ”
