We were on the hop on hop off trolley and just decided to hop off at this location and decided to eat here. The Lobstah Roll and fries were AWESOME and the Dragon Fruit Marg was tasty. We planned on being in the area for the Museum tours tomorrow and already decided we are eating here again.

The tacos taste great if you're feeling Mexican, the drinks are good, only the salsas should be spicier and taste less like tomato, the ice cream is super delicious, the service is good and fast, I would definitely return.
