They'closed and we're clearing up but I asked if I could get a coffee. They said sure and would we like a muffin. I got an amazing date muffin and a cup of coffee and they left us to sit on the deck to enjoy it. Thanks!👍

My family and I went there not knowing what to expect, but my goodness we loved the environment, the workers, the food, and the sense ambiance. My family and I got to have a very lovely conversation with them and we went there 3 days in a row. truly loved this place and the people there. Will miss it for sure. The wait time for the food was a bit long, but it was totally worth it
