I normally don't leave bad reviews, but this place is not one of my favourites. The food was pretty good but the service was lacking. The owner made it seem like that we needed to order from the items she had readily available and that it was an issue to have her make something that wasn't on hand already. The disgruntled sigh and eye roll I received after choosing a shrimp dish she had to make has made me reluctant to ever return here. It wasn't even late in the day, it was early afternoon.

Now the best part beef patty and cocoa bread. Ooooweee, you can tell they are homemade and not store brought. There is so much flavor in the meat with a slightly spicy tang. The crust was flaky but still stayed together. The cocoa bread absolutely completed it even more even though it's not needed, but I like to eat it together. Again, this was a hidden gem, and the food speaks for itself. I'll be...
