    Visited for dinner with friends. We had the arancini, french dip, shrimp scampi, brick pressed chicken, pea and cucumber salad with salmon (x2), sticky toffee pudding, quarter pounder cookie, and devils layer cake. The chicken came highly recommended by the server and did not disappoint. The arancini, shrimp scampi, salads, sticky toffee pudding and cake were all equally delicious. The french dip, while tasty, did not come with nearly enough jus or a big enough bowl to facilitate dipping for the size of the sandwich (it was huge!). It also came with way too many fries that also could have stood to be cooked a little longer. The cookie was unfortunately a bit overcooked and underwhelming given the big font announcing it on the menu. My son declared the ice cream on top of the sticky toffee pudding the best ice cream he has ever had. It was a little on the loud side, but overall food/atmosphere were very good! We'll be back!
