    All good as usual, except I tried the Nasi Goreng today and it really was a deconstructed plate which I was not expecting, but once I cut everything up and mixed it all together it sort of was like a nasi goreng, but it should state that its a deconstructed plate so people will know. Service was great, staff friendly etc.

    The location and view, is great. But you have to back it up with good service and good food. Which they didn't They were busy which is fine, but seemed understaffed and run off there feet. Cheap meals, shouldn't mean poor quality. It was steak night, we had two, The one was good, the othere was like a piece of leather.

    We had two outdoor tables for our party of 17. From greeting by waiter Tom. Excellent service very efficient. The food varied over the group, some meals were not nice, or average to lovely. I wish there was a vegan or vegetarian meal in the seniors meals. All in all we would definitely be coming back.

    The pork salad was very poor quality. The pork was hard and tasteless. Couldn’t get a fork into any of the pieces of meat. Very disappointing at the price.

    Hi Pauline, we're disappointed to hear you weren't happy with your meal. We have passed your feedback on to the kitchen team for them to address.
