Food: Irresistible flavors, inconsistent variety

Diners frequently sing praises of the authentic, gourmet ingredients that come together to concoct unique, outstanding flavors. The food is fresher than sea-kissed oysters and portions are almost unfairly generous, which alludes to a sublime value-for-money ratio. Yet, some opine that the menu's variety is as inconsistent as a politician's promises.

  • Great Value

    Numerous mentions of great value for delicious, quality food.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu can be hit or miss, and sometimes food quality is inconsistent.

Vibe: Aromas overpowering, not date-night-worthy

The restaurant's ambiance suffers at the hands of overpowering smells and an indoor equivalent of the Sahara, shadowing any aesthetically pleasing elements. It's a cross between an arctic igloo and a desert dune - uncomfortably hot on the inside. Your romantic interest would also blackball it as a date night venue due to cleanliness concerns.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Ambiance disrupted by overbearing smells, hot inside, and overwhelming.

Perks: Friendly service, but crummy parking

The positives veer more towards the staff's exceptional and swift service, along with their commendable dietary offerings, including highly appreciated vegan-friendly options. The flip side takes the shine off, what with their pin-sized parking lot that's a battle royale to navigate and indifference towards comfort in their outdoor seating that's crammed tighter than a rush-hour subway.

  • Great For Diets

    Vegan friendly options clearly labeled, which customers greatly appreciate.

  • Okay For Groups

    Private outdoor seating for groups, but indoor space is more limited.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Complaints about overcrowding and lack of comfort in outdoor seating.
