Buffet style restaurant, where you serve the salad for free and then the main course is by menu. The restaurant is always full, it is convenient to book on weekends.

Fantastic establishment! My partner suffers from celiac disease and the well trained staff prepared a meal for him free of wheat cross contamination, and my peppercorn sauce on the steak was delicious. Will definitely be back :)
