The portion of food was really correct, but the chicken of the fried chicken sandwich I ate has a weird taste, it was not good at all and some fried parts was filled with oil.

We went out for a team outing on a weekday- wednesday- it was not crowded so that was great for us as we cud speak.The food was amazing- for the mains- the portion sizes are too good for 1 person, drinks- cocktail were okay, the best part was when I ordered the vegan burger- the server asked me do I want it to be vegetarian or vegan- cos vegan had soy pattie which made it dry while if I was vegetarian they cud replace the soy patty with potato patty and the vegan cheese slice with normal one- and tryst me I had that soy burger before - this one was wayyyy better!! I found that suggestion to be very useful! Overall it was a great time spent
