Leo's Pizza and Greek Taverna
Greek restaurant
😠 We ordered delivery to our air b&b - calamari, spanokapedia, and a large chef special pizza. I worked in Greek restaurants for years and love supporting well known local places. The calamari was simply deep fried rubbery rings, no seasonings, no oregano, no flavour… just ick. Spanokepdia also see...

The Black Cauldron
Restaurant
👍👍 The Black Cauldron is a great Sunday date night spot - huge patio in the back and lots of mocktail/cocktail options to try. The theme is clever, but the flavour was right on. Don't be turned off by the strange sounding ingredients - the egg white is whipped into a meringue and really tasty! Desserts...
