Unfortunately the service was very lacking in the two servers especially the girl on our visit Sunday 6th Aug.

I maybe think maybe it is under new ownership. The New York and Cheesie sandwich foccia were super fresh, husband had the Dirty Hog sandwich and was super impressed. Two lattes and a wine rounded the morning off nicely. Would...
