    Food was next level good, we had set menu option, so we could get a range of options. Staff great made us feel very welcome. Try the Negroni if you fancy a pre dinner Aperitif.

    While the food is incredible here and I haven't had issues with service in the past, last night was disappointing. Tasty, quick food aside, the server who approached us was very rude. I had ordered something off the 'kids menu'. After I had already paid, the server came over and abruptly interrupted us. Instead of being kind and saying 'hey look, I'm really sorry to do this, would you mind ordering something off the adult menu', he chastised us... "THIS IS KIDS ONLY YOU ARE NOT KIDS". I was taken aback, he was very disrespectful. I explained politely that I have had weight-loss surgery and cannot eat very much. This didn't seem to matter, he would not leave us alone until we had asked for something else. I said, 'I'm sorry but I would like the meal that I have ordered and paid for'. He refused, saying that they are cheaper because they are for kids, all while tapping his foot waiting. I then cut my losses and asked for a bowl of chips instead, which costs LESS than a kids meal, go figure. The server never offered to process the refund and I couldn't be bothered dealing with him again so I actually did not get my refund. I have loved and eaten here for years and I will be coming back, but this was really disappointing. I have ordered from the kids menu before explaining my medical situation each time with no issues. It felt like this guy had a personal vendetta towards me.
