    Quality of food not up to the standard of previous visits, and not cheap at 88 euro for 2.

    Only thing we would recommend were the wings, our server was lovely, the chicken burger was mediocre and the fish was fine the fries were lukewarm and tasted of fish and old oil. The dessert a waffle was microwaved and it was doughy and disgusting. It was our first and last time, over priced fast food.

    Very disappointed. The service was terrible the chips were over cooked. We were waiting a long time for food considering the restaurant wasn't busy. Staff spent most of the time chatting rather than looking after customers. We had booked that it was a special occasion being our sons graduation from college. No mention was made of this, we were placed beside a 5 yr old birthday party, the restaurant had plenty of room away from them. Overall very disappointing and I don't think I'd be back
