Brilliant atmosphere, super friendly but not over the top staff. Delicious food, we’ve ordered the lamb tzatziki burger and a double stack burger (chicken&beef with mac sauce, can’t remember the name) with chips and two soft drinks. Complimentary water and flavoured nuts to snack on before the meals arrived. The atmosphere was great with good music on, and lots of little attentions to detail like cactus shaped salt and pepper shakers (cute!).

Though only a narrow venue, they gave made good use of the available space by having the cocktail bar up front and table seating in the back. This also meant we were sat away from those who just came in for a drink, which meant we could still enjoy our conversation without too much background noise.
Worth a visit if you’re in the area, and we’d certainly like to try more of the menu next...
