    Booked out a booth for a birthday a week in advance only to find out when I got to the venue it wasn't reserved and there were people sitting in our allocated spot. Took over 30 minutes for staff to remove the people from our seats so we could attend our reservation. Food managed to come out fast thankfully so that was the biggest saving grace.

    Great service, good food, great atmosphere, not a fan of the 10% surcharge on Sundays but i guess that's what locking down over covid for 2 years gets ya
