| - Came to this shop from a voucher deal and positive reviews at the time I saw the deal online.
Came on a sunny Saturday around 1:30 pm. The place is small, casual and one of those that was converted from a Victorian house. It wasn't very busy at the time. Not sure if there's another patio in the back but we took seats in the front patio, which was small, only seat 2 pairs. But it was nice as it was under a tree and next to small flower beds and you some people watching as they come along the sidewalk on this quiet street.
The daily special panini that day, which was pulled pork panini, was sold out at the time, so we just order straight from the menu. We got a steak panini and a salmon panini. Each plate came with 2 olives and a simple vinigrette salad on the side.
We enjoyed our paninis. Tasty and the breads were toasted to perfection. We had our paninis with olive breads, as oppose to white or wholewheat, which I thought was a more special choice and more flavorful.
The salads were also quite good. I wasn't sure if it was balsamic as I normally don't like balsamic because of the smell. But I find the smell for this one not at all repulsive.
Overall, this is a nice little joint for a small casual meal. They had cakes/desserts and coffees, but we didn't get any during this visit so I can't judge those.
The thing I do like most is the service. The owner Raj was an attentive and jolly fellow. He served us personally and informed us with details of their specials. He was also very apologetic for not being able to provide the daily special panini as they were sold out of the pulled pork. By the time we were ready for the bill, the owner wasn't around and the girl that attended to us was also quite friendly. We tipped 20% and will definitely come back again.
