Reviews
- kind_lentilCame here with a friend for a chill catch-up and wow, the vibe is super cool — it's tucked away in this outdoor cycling area so it wasn't crowded at all, just really relaxed. We ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce, and the sauce was super rich. Honestly it wasn't quite what I was expecting but in a good way, kinda unique. The grilled chicken leg burger was huge, and the pickles and green apple slices on the side were so refreshing. Beer was really good too, gave us that perfect tipsy buzz. Just the two of us eating and chatting, super easygoing — great date spot for sure.
