We love the food at S&S and always enjoy coming to the restaurant, however on the last few occasions the service is so hit and miss! The waiters seem so indifferent and not very attentive, the orders are sometimes wrong or forgotten and missed, you have to remind the staff or request little things like plates and water. Overall, the main thing that needs to be improved is the service.
