Restaurants

Casual, fun and great quick service with a smile. Frequently changing menu - mostly sandwiches- but don't believe for a second these are just " any ole" sandwiches. Outstanding Beef Shawarma, Duck Confit, or Tuna Tataki are among the many samplings you might want to try. French fries are worth the trip!
