    Food and service was okay. Washrooms were very dirty (toilet seat dirty and the floor was wet :-S ) and there was no paper towels to dry hands. Over it was an alright experience

    Food was fine. Lots to choose from. Both waitresses had bad attitudes. Unfriendly and snooty. Need training in customer service, in smiling and pretending at least, to be friendly.

    We had a booking and thought this might make life easier. However we stood and waited for ages in a line before we could even show our booking. They were clearly under-staffed and very flustered. We waited ages for service. We then had an incorrect meal come and that incorrect meal was put on our bill even though we asked everything be corrected. With more staff and a bit more organisation, there’s definitely potential here.

    The restaurant was too loud to the point where my friend and I couldn’t hear each other.

    The food was incredible and venue was lovely. Two things that could do with improvement: - We had a reservation and the chairs at our table were soaking wet. Being that they were expecting us, the chairs could have been wiped down before we arrived. - I ordered a coffee twice and never received it, even after following up.
