    Good food and lovely atmosphere. Unfortunately the kitchen lost our order so we had to wait an extremely long time for our food but worth waiting for. Don't sit between door and counter on busy days

    Cozy in the winter (grab a seat next to the open fire) and a good place to sit out in the sun and watch the world go by when it's warm. Cakes are great and the soup is good value.
