Excellent food with a wide selection of dishes available. All staff were very professional but importantly also very friendly and looked liked they enjoy being there. That all made for a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back!

Three of us enjoyed a tasty lunch. We sat outside as a noisy gathering of 16 people were dining inside in the aircon. Service was mediocre for the standard of the hotel. After finishing our food and drinks, the glasses were taken away, but not the empty plates. We then had coffee and chatted for another half hour or so. Still the empty plates were not collected. Appeared to be one person collects the glasses: another the finished plates.
