The orders were taken easily and arrived quickly. They were good serving sizes for adults and children. The food was delicious, and there was not a skerrick left! The only downside was that there were very limited dessert options and none that really sounded like our kind of dessert. But we didn't need it anyway - the main meals filled us up!
