We felt that the service was a bit unorganised and they did not have enough staff on the shift. The food, once it came out, was nice, but we did have to wait quite a while. the chips/sweet potato fries came out before the main meal. The evening did not meet our expectations.

I have to admit, it was quite the disappointment. I had hopes for the experience because of the ratings and was looking forward to the food, but it just didn't live up to my expectations.
