I’ve been here at least a half dozen times or so and I’ll have to say the owner is always there working hard, is genuinely friendly with everyone, knows his customers by name and makes you feel very welcome indeed. Because of this I always look forward to my visits.

Greek Chicken – Winter Gardens
Gold sparkles before me. Bright like the sun. Scent of fried fish teases me. Thin tempura batter crunches in my mouth. Contrasts with the juicy fresh Alaskan cod.
