The food rating is really N/A because 20 minutes after being seated, we never got any service. Two tables who arrived after us, however, were attended to immediately after sitting down. The manager told us "they don't have sections" so there is sometimes some miscommunication. One waiter literally was 2 feet from me bringing food and drinks to the table next to us. Never even acknowledged our table. Very disappointing

Ordered fish was given scallop. Dish was corrected. Ordered lamb dish was tough and hard to chew. Salad & pork skins are always good.

Food was just okay. I didn’t get the vibe either through the food selection and prep or the ambience that it was a farm to table restaurant. Service was fine not stellar. Wait team rarely came by to check on us
