    Great reception on arrival. Prompt and professional service throughout. Food was outstanding as always. Portions were big too. Love going here. Better atmosphere than Port Edgar.

    Arrived on time, after 20 mins of waiting, we had to ask for our order to be taken. When food arrived one of the orders was incorrect. Advised after 1hr 15mins that we had to vacate our table in 5 mins so unable to order anything else and then error with bill, overcharged for 1 meal.

    Charged a 10% service charge. Toilets were awful. Great food but charging a service was a disgrace. Won’t be back for that reason.

    Slow service and 3 of the items we wanted to order were no longer available. Shame because the food was very very good.

    Great food, tasty, and we’ll go back. Only thing that spoiled it a tad was drinks that we ordered that didn’t arrive … so we left earlier than planned.
