This is a cafeteria, with a number of warm dishes to ppick from. They are well-prepared and tasty and you can choose the serving size out of three options. It is also a very good cafe, with espresso, drip coffee and a number of cold beverages to accompany your meal. There is no table service. Prices are just right for this type of establishment.

the place had an excellent vibe... it was overflowing at 1:00PM, a good sign! the lamb and meatballs were excellent. the cold brocolli salad and apple salad were a perfect partner with the proteins. its slow cooked food like you read about, served "cafeteria style" where you have a choice of plate sizes they fill up for you.

ladies behind the counter were very efficient and very friendly. when we find our way back, we'll make sure to eat there again

Sit inside or outdoors watching life go bye, sitting in the sun and enjoying your day, great feel to the place, and loved the combo options available. I had the beef cheeks with different salads, delicious. Generous servings and very friendly staff. You will definitely not leave feeling hungry. Great job Guys :)

We had lunch and i tried their mixed meal special.
I selected the chicken and vegetable sides to go with it. A bit pricy for what you get but you can also include salad selection.
Large plate was $25.
