Outstanding food, great service, reasonable prices and a wonderful atmosphere. I had the fish of the day, which was delicious. We were so happy to find this spot after a long hike, I highly recommend it!

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.

All the positive reviews are accurate. Gem of a spot for casual, delicious, fresh meal. Soup and bread, burgers and steak sandwich - all so good!

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!
