It started out as a bar (usually attended by men) but the food was good that they had to incorporate a restaurant, unfortunately the bar is still attached and gives it a not-so-good... More

Had lunch in this place, great food, good pricing. The only issue was the service. Although there were not very busy, it took a long time to get our food.
