The menu has several options for those that don’t eat meat and fish. The tofu cubes were amazingly light and so tasty.!! Their menu selection, quality of food, and the pleasant service make this a great restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our server was very pleasant.

A local restaurant that offers a variety of food. I had fish and chips, and it was crispy and tasted like homemade, not greasy. My husband had a Swiss cheese mushroom burger, and he said it was the best burger he's had so far.

Had a really nice meal here and finally found the time to post a review. so easy to drive by this place but what a hidden gem. The food was fresh and clean, I couldn’t finish the mango chicken that I ordered. The spring rolls were fresh and homemade but before I forget there’s homemade GELATO in the desert case. didn’t get any alcoholic beverages just coffee but looked like there was a nice selection behind the bar. Looking forward to eating here again the next time I have a chance.

One of our favourite restaurant near my place. Great service especially when Melaina is our server. We always come here not just because of their food but also with their service. We really love their liver and omelette. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place with big and delicious portions. So far I tried eggs and wings. It has been great experience both times.

This is my first time here and ordered a shrimp roll with a drink. The shrimp is very fresh and it is a great combination with the sauce and bread. The staff here are also very friendly. They also have gelato here which I love for dessert.

Food was AYCE chicken wings but these wings were so much bigger than the ones im used to in the Gta and suburbs. I ordered 2 which made it worth it but i could not do a 3rd. Very nice service and owner. Might be a little out of the way for tourists but worth the drive. Kids friendly with plenty of space for seating and parking. Def want to come back.
