    Both me and my wife had excellent meals. The quality was great and the portion size should fill the most hearty eater. It was recommended to us by my daughter and it didn't disappoint. The service was also top notch.

    Phoned ahead to advise that I was going to be late for my reservation. Not a problem. Arrived to be seated by a friendly waitress who gave us a choice of tables. Restaurant was moderately busy, plenty of tables available. Food and drinks order was taken promptly and brought to us within a short period of time. Lunch men food was excellent. Tasty and good sized portion of hot beef stottie. Price was reasonable. Overall, a great experience, just what we wanted and the food hit the spot perfectly. Will definitely return.
