This restaurant is a fantastic discovery! I highly recommend trying the fish finger sandwiches. Our two dogs were warmly welcomed as well. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect score of 5. View all feedback.

The restaurant offers an airy and arty interior with popular pavement tables for a positive atmosphere. Despite some slight pricing issues and miscommunications with orders, the food quality was good overall. However, it is best to avoid due to rude staff. On the contrary, Coastal Coffee was praised for its excellent service and delicious food. Additionally, another restaurant offered a highly recommended experience, with great food, service, and atmosphere. The cafe has been described as charming, with top-notch coffee and professional staff providing quality dining experiences. Overall, a mix of pleasant and disappointing experiences make this restaurant worth considering before visiting.
