“ A lovely gem on Route 10. We arrived on a busy day but the owner-chef and manager/server took great care of us. They walked the talk re: customer service and were extremely accommodating to my food allergy. Delicious food and drinks with top-notch service. We will be back. ”
“ My wife and I had dinner here during our trip to Newfoundland. What a gem of a restaurant! The service was exceptional. The food delicious. The atmosphere was very friendly, and the space itself is beautifully done. We have gluten (celiac) and nut allergies and they modified dishes for us. The server was exceptional in her care for our gluten and nut allergies. We highly recommend this restaurant and will eat here again during our next trip to NL! ”
