• Close to our house!
• Food awful, service poor.

“We have now eaten at this restaurant 3 times because it so close to home and we can walk there. The first meal was mediocre, the second was ok with terrible service, but last night topped it. My wife's steak was meant to come with a lightly smoked chili sauce - it came with a brown gloop of a gravy! We told our server we were not happy with this - she scurried to the kitchen, came back and said - it is what it is do you want it or not? My wife chose not! Once we had paid our bill and the place was a little quitter, we approached the owner, his wife and the chef who were having a lovely time front of house, patting each other on the backetc and explained our concerns regarding the meal. We were told the same as our server said - it is what it is - and that we basically did not have any idea what we were talking about! The owner turned his back on us and walked away! The chef then decided to wade in and accused us of not knowing what a chili flavor was, took exception to us describing his sauce as appearing like a brown gravy and stomped off to the kitchen to fetch a chili and show us what it was! At that stage we felt it best to leave lest he returned with a large kitchen implement instead. So - in short, we won't be heading back there - ever. I think 3 chances is enough regardless of how close to home it is and I think both the owner, his wife and the chef could do with a lesson in manners. The customer may not always be right - but they are still always the customer! We have eaten in many French restaurants (mostly in France). The food, the bar service and the service all badly in need of work!”

Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Great casual place where food & service is consistently good.

“No fine dining but good basic American diner-type food. Service always friendly. Salads generous & tasty. Club sandwiches always good. Great fries.”
