Portions generous, well prepared and tasty. Seated in "booth" sitting too tight. Tables bolted down and large people (or pregnant women) can't move table for comfort. Overall great experience.

Excellent food taste and portion size. Tried it because it was on DDD, did not disappoint. Patio was a bit crowded. Wait staff was a bit slow, but the managers were walking around filling drinks and just very pleasant. After advising waiter we had to catch a plane, the service times seemed to pick-up. Would definitely return.
