We showed up with a group of 40. Well received and served. Food was excellent. Fish and chips were one of the best I have ever had. Chicken burger was amazing and so was the zucchini noodle plate.

Food was really good. I didn't like the French onion soup. The kids menu had such a good selection. My kids upgraded their drinks to a milkshake which was really good. Good size portion I will definitely be eating here again when visiting the mall.

They have more options for kids then other places. They have more options on their menu than other places too. If you like sandwiches, you'll be happy. The Cesar salad sucked, like they put together a poor man's good kit. The french onion soup was below par also. Just avoid ... the apps. Dill pickle dipping sauce for the fries was awesome.
