Very cozy restaurant bar close to south street, with absolutely amazing food. Got some coffee and tea which was also very nice. The staff was wonderful, and although a dessert was forgotten, management very graciously solved the issue. Would absolutely suggest going here as the menu is amazing and great atmosphere!
