I got a chance to visit today to help out family with meals during a surgery. They don’t have many restrictions (so I thought) no red meat or tomatoes. I was going to get a meal for today and a meal to freeze. I looked at the salads and sandwich options and the first item I see is a quinoa salad that expired 2/23. All of salads and sandwiches but one had an expiration of 3/23. They looked alright but I was hoping for something more fresh and plentiful looking. I checked out the frozen selection hoping for anything but I didn’t see options that didn’t have tomato, red meat or freezer burn. I looked the freezers over a few times but couldn’t find anything that fit that criteria. I guess if the dates in the coolers aren’t being checked on, I shouldn’t expect staff to come over and check on me clearly rifling through every item in their freezers. I was going to ask someone for assistance but everyone looked too busy to be bothered swiftly walking around or leaving for the day, so I called it. 3 stars for looking inviting and having some sweets I would’ve added to my purchase. Thanks.

This place is the perfect hang out and take out spot. This place focuses on wine, beer, restaurant quality take home food. My wife and I did a wine flight. We picked two whites at random and let the bartender pick two reds. The flights were great. We did not try the take home food but it all looked fantasticIn short, this place is great local spot to enjoy a good drink. The bartender is friendly and knowledgeable. They also focus on the quality of the wines they buy from different regions of the world We will definitely visit again.

I picked up some food to go and so glad I did. The Guinness Stew is so so good! Can't recommend it enough. The owners are British so the food is super authentic and there is a lovely wine bar there too. Just a shame it closes so early.

Butternut, sage and apple soup, Delicious! All the Burittos but particularly the Chorizo and the Veggie. Chicken Pot Oie is next level. Love this fresh, small batch from scratch healthy foods. Wonderful food. The chicken salad is the best I've ever had. Lovely proprietors too.
