  I had the cauliflower soup which was pretty good after adding some pepper and then the fish of the day with veggies, all of which was very well seasoned and tasty.

  O local é bastante aconchegante...parece casa de vó.  Parece ser um negócio familiar. A sopa era boa ...mas eu já tomei melhores. As pessoas são agradáveis e muito solicitas. Recomendo.

  Definitely stop here for the steak sandwich and fries. The meat is amazing quality and they nailed the whole sandwich! Fries were also great. My boyfriend got the cod and it was nice and fresh, but the steak sandwich stole the show!
