    Food is always amazing there. Although my partners steak was a little fatty and chewy this time. A little noisy if you are after a quiet setting.

    Food was great and the staff were friendly. It is on the pricey side, so save it for an occasion, but the food is definitely worth the price, as well as the great portion sizes, so you aren't wasting food and will be full.

    I had eggs Benedict. Hollandaise was the best I had had in a long time. Unfortunately ambience was at times a little loud - had to really concentrate on what my table was saying.
