next door KITCHEN & BAR

Permanently closed

We sat at the outside table with our dog. The food was great. Friendly service.

Great smash burger...my favorite. They got other great stuff but the burger is the bomb.

Not bad, not fantastic. Good for a quick dinner with friends.

Incompetent and misleading. (see latest update below re a more positive experience) We didn't actually get to eat there so can't comment about the actual food. I asked the server about vegan dishes, she said she recommends the crispy cauliflower to all vegan guests. I quickly scanned the ingredients and it had ranch dressing (definitely not vegan), she responded that I can just have that on the side (please note that having something that is clearly not vegan on the side, does NOT make the dish vegan)! Then she remembered that the dish had slaw in it which also wasn't vegan, but again suggested that I just have it "on the side". It is beyond me as to why she would recommend a dish that is clearly not vegan to all vegans?!?! There was just one dish that was labeled VEGAN (not vegan option or vegetarian, actually labelled vegan), so I asked to have that, but then double checked whether the house dressing was actually vegan, which turned out it wasn't even though it was clearly advertised as such. Again, the server suggested that I should just have the non-vegan things "on the side". I can accept that not all places cater to vegans, which is fine, but be up front about it and don't lie on your menu!! Make sure your staff are trained appropriately - having meat/dairy/egg "on the side" does not magically make the meal vegan! UPDATE: Thank you for your considered response and your willingness to be more transparent in the future and to address the issue. UPDATE June 2023: I received some vouchers to use at the restaurant, so I gave this place another go. The second time around my experience was better than previously. The server was a bit more knowledgeable about the food and dietary requirements, but initially reluctant to check anything with the kitchen as they were busy, but eventually he did. The food was ok, I would probably try a different dish next time though. As I had the voucher, the manager seemed to know that I must have had a bad experience last time, so he came by the table to ensure that everything was ok and offered a further voucher if I wasn't happy with my meal, which I declined, as I thought it was a good enough. Overall, the restaurant was able to turn my very negative experience into a more positive one, so well done.

I usually don't write very reviews but this place was amazing. Waited to be seated outside while they were very busy, the hostess was all over it and did a great job. I had the lavender mule, probably the best mule I have ever had, and it came in such a cool glass. Then we got "all the fries" for an app. The wedge fries were amazing, just wish there were a few more sweet potato fries in the mix. I got the orange cauliflower bowl (not a vegetarian just love veggies) and it was sooooo good! It's the running for one of the best meals I have ever had! Wish I could eat here every week!
