5.0 star rating
  Update - 5/31/2010

Brunch here is fantastic and creative!!! I had the Benny Special today with brie, fig jam, egg, and hollandaise.  Potatoes were okay, but they're never my favorite.  I also got a side of bacon to add some salty component to the meal.  Good decision.…More »

  5/14/2009 First to Review

This is another one of the better Nando's locations.  The chicken is grilled to perfection, and is still juicy inside. The pita bread for the chicken pita was nice and soft. We also ordered the hummus and pita appetizer and when the server put it on…More »

This gelato is A-Maze-Ing!  So delicious! And the ingredients are pure quality!  My favorites are the salted chocolate, salted caramel, and torroncino (honey nougat).   The chocolate varieties are very rich, like pure chocolate.  Everything here is…More »
