What diners are saying
Diners celebrate this cozy, intimate spot for its rotisserie chicken, which guests describe as tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with herbs like rosemary and thyme. Standout dishes include the "chicken dripping potatoes"—hailed by some as the best they've ever had—and the comforting chicken salad sandwich. While the atmosphere is praised as well-curated and inviting for both dates and solo dining, opinions on sides like the mac and cheese are mixed. However, reviewers consistently highlight the warm, welcoming service and the pride the staff takes in their food.
