My friend and I choose to try this place today (a Saturday) around 12:30, I had seen it when searching Google maps for a place for lunch. The reviews were good, the photos of the food looked good and so we decided to try for ourselves. The location was good for us and plenty of parking. When we got inside there are 2 ends of where you can sit, we walked in one side and it was busy enough so walked down to the other side where the counter is. We got greeted immediately by a member of staff who showed us to a table right away and gave us menus. We didn't have to wait long at all and the guy (didn't ask for his name) came over and took our order, he was the one who greeted us when we first came in, he was friendly and attentive.

I always find the bread too hard when toasted so asked for it to be lightly toasted. Unfortunately it was hard as a rock and I still have a sore palate from eating it.
