Got there for 12pm - we were the only customers until we were leaving so it was very quiet. Food was delicious- I can personally recommend getting the “Bomb” and my husband had he mixed grill and he said it was delicious. Staff were fab. The drinks were great. Only downside was the seats could do with a clean and the mirrors in there needed a good wipe. But that aside I highly recommend
