Just had a basic burger and fries. Meat was far from cooked...closer to tartar than what I would call a burger. It's was obviously a frozen patty and was barely warm when received. Thank goodness the fries saved the day.

Lovely patio but it's obviously geared towards locals than the tourist trade. Apparently their business is much more devoted to bakery and pastry products and I may return to allow them to redeem themselves.
