Today I stopped in for a late lunch and was greeted warmly and seated right away. My food was amazing - just the right meal to warm up from the cold. I ordered the #1 and it was a LOT of food for one person. The chef came out after the meal to introduce herself and make sure I enjoyed the food. She also offered me a coffee on the house and it was DELICIOUS and piping hot. Such a wonderful way to enjoy a meal. 12/10 stars.Posted on Mule Bel (hifivetube)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
