4.6 / 5.0(822 reviews)
We had a very good lunch. It may have been a 4.5 stars but the w0nderful outdoor seating and quaint interiors make it a 5 star round off. The sweet potato fondant was very good. The chicken salad was very good. The chicken wings were ok. The beer selection is good. My dad and I shared the Icelandic lamb platter. All four lamb dishes were delicious and we loved the serving board. The whole table of four shared the coconut candy cake for dessert - it is HUGE! The table next to us was so impressed by the size they took a picture too. We ate the whole thing and were all uncomfortably full and happy. I selected this restaurant based on a short walking distance from our hotel. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Best lamb burger (less sauce) and fish dish. Lot of food, big dish. but quite high price. Super Atmosphere and service, friendly.

Ambiance: This is such a cute restaurant. They have seating set up in a manner that can make it intimate but also comfortable. It’s a spot that can accommodate big groups too. I really like the homey decor as well. Service: Service was nice. They came and took our orders fairly quickly but it took awhile for the food to come out. Food: Food was good. They had a lot of veggie options on the menu. My husband got the lamb burger and said it was good. I got the crispy cauliflower. It was really good, had a lot of crispy the cauliflower inside was well good. The breading was thick as well so it was nicely balanced. One small basket had a lot of bites in there so it can be a shared appetizer. We also go the harissa fries and the fries were good but we honestly didn’t get any harissa flavor on them. Price: It cost about $50/person for 1 entree, 1 appetizer, and 2 drinks. Insta: @TheShahLALand
