The street and the shops are like stepping back into the 40s and 50s. The street exudes charm and a friendly atmosphere usually found in bygone years. I felt very much at home. I just took a couple of photos to remind me of what things used to be.

Great service and food was perfect. Was on a date with a friend and we were so well serviced from seating all the way to desert.
