During the spring and summer, a seat on the patio is both comfortable and relaxing, and in the winter or for those who like air conditioning, ask to be seated inside near the windows. Parents’ favorites include the ale steak and ribs, while children will love the kids’ menu with food served in cardboard classic cars.
