    The lamb chops are a must. Loved the lamb burger. My husband got the salmon with orzo also very good. We enjoyed the cauliflower app. They for got the halloumi cheese on my watermelon salad but it was the first day that it was on the menu. Had to ask twice for our waitress once for the salad the other to order another drink. All in all it was a great experience and can't wait to go again.
