"Had smashed avocado and cheese burger and chips. Super flavour profile on the avo and generous with ingredients. Burger was beautiful, well portioned and full of flavour. Chips are well cooked, seasoned and perfect thickness. The staff were wonderful and friendly even though I was distracted and in a hurry."
