The restaurant is unassuming, simple signage and a plain exterior that does not hint at what the inside holds...

...but if you step inside, you'll find a great, low-key spot that just about anyone will enjoy. Sit at the bar if you're looking for a front-row seat to the action - or easy access to drinks. There's plenty of beer on tap, and they're happy to make you a cocktail.

If sitting at the bar isn't your thing, the dining room has plenty of table space. This is a welcoming spot for families, so feel free to bring kids here. It's a great pitstop to stretch your legs and grab a bite!
