"Downtown is an amazing place! It has delicious food, my favourite thing to order is their burger. It is the most delicious burger I've ever had in my life. I highly recommend it! The service there is also wonderful! Best place to eat at!"

"The food was tasty, but it was lukewarm. Surprising, because there were few tables taken while we were there and the food itself arrived relatively fast. Gorgonzola chicken also had no gorgonzola (but at least it was good)."
