It’s such a cute spot. I got some truffle chicken nuggets, and fish and chips.The food was actually pretty nice. The truffle chicken nuggets came in 6 pieces. The nuggets were packed with truffle fragrance. They were also extremely hot, and be aware of the juices squirting out. They were very nice. I was able to identify the pieces of chicken inside. They weren’t overly processed.The fish and chips were also very nice, too! The batter was very light and crispy. The fish was fresh and flaky. French fries were very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They paired very well with the lemon wedges. I do feel they were a bit underseasoned. They got boring half way towards the end.It was a nice place to hang out with friends or for a small family gathering. It wasn’t too loud, and the environment was clean.I think I got too much deep fried food. I felt a bit gross toward the end. That was my fault. Lol - Bradley C
