    Great breakfast

    Definitely the place to have breakfast. Price reasonable, staff excellent. Our group of 30 were all very happy. We all got served together and all our meals were hot and plentiful. Top marks from us.

    Home Style meals

    The restaurant is a bit off the beaten track. The meals are home style. Lamb shanks looked really good, and I had Osso Bucco which was very tasty

    This is a hidden gem slightly out of the town but one that is certainly worth a visit. My husband and I so enjoyed our meal a week ago that we revisited taking a local as our guest. She couldn't believe that having lived in...More

    Great food - hidden gen

    We were recommended the restaurant in the colonial palms by 2 drivers during our trip so decided to check it out as we were also staying there. The food was great and the service / friendliness of the staff topped it off.

    Good food & very friendly staff, though a little rushed. Maybe get there earlier to take more time. Serves are very generous.

    Thank you for your response. My wife stives hard to provide a consistent quality menu every day. After 45 years at the job, this will be her last restaurant, so enjoy the meals
