Take a look at those happy, smiling faces!
This table of 8 enjoyed a surprise 50% OFF their bill when they returned with a mystery discount envelope from a previous visit, and opened it with our team when the bill arrived!
What an end to a fabulous meal they had!
Remember, bring your unopened Mystery Discount envelope with you next time you dine with us.
When the bill comes, we’ll open it together and you’ll enjoy anything from 10 to 💯% off your bill!
Come dine with us and get your hands on one of these valuable envelopes while we have them!
