Visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had to come back to try another item on the menu (chicken mac & cheese waffles). Absolutely amazing!! We had originally booked for outside as that was all that was available, however we received a call around half an hour before our booking to say there was a table available inside, which was ideal! We will be back in the future!
