This is a great lunch or light dinner spot hidden in the quarter. I've been here a couple of times now and the food was surprisingly tasty. The menu is diverse enough for the pickiest of eaters. The salads are big enough to share and the Cuban sandwich is pretty big, too. Both items are very flavorful and recommended. The St. George Salad is a tasty one with really yummy balsamic dressing. It was loaded with tons of veggies, cranberries and nuts--a solid salad with tons of flavors and textures going on for sure, but in a good way.
The Cuban sandwich was delicious and had a lot more roasted pork inside it than I expected. It was also served with kettle chips. The fish tacos were an excellent choice and big enough for a nice meal. They give you two large tacos served with sauces that just work really well together. So good!
And if you bring the kiddos, they have a special menu for them that won't break the bank. They have an assortment of flatbreads and tapas from which to choose depending on your appetite. Kids' pizza is pretty much flatbread pizza with a thin crust, sauce and cheese. No frills but pretty darn good if they don't manage to finish it. Items are also served with potato chips.
My last visit, I had a Bloody Mary and it was beautifully decorated with a large green olive, a nice chunk of chorizo and slice of sundried tomato speared on a toothpick complete with a salt and pepper rim. However, the actual drink was just OK and could have used a lot more vodka.
Overall, this place is very understated, but the food is solid. The service is decent for being right on St. George St. and they have a good sized bar inside if you're on a liquid lunch. Options to eat at the bar or inside dining areas (air conditioned with fans) or outside on their spacious deck is an added plus. However, the food is definitely worth the visit. read more
