Table we were originally sat at was high and the chairs felt like I was sitting in a bucket which made the table top at high chest level. So noisy I asked to be moved outside to the heated deck area, which was a lot quieter although chairs were still not very comfortable.

I tried the pulled pork and it was not good. There was no sauce really and the meat was crunchy like it sat in a pot and got stuck and scraped off of it.

I went for Mother’s Day and was greeted with a lovely mock tail. I had thought about going to a different restaurant but liked the ease of reserving a table online. The eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. The hash browns were just the way I like it. The price was good.

The food was ok. The French Onion soup could have been a bit thicker hardly any cheese. Could have used a bit of toast or crackers with it. My hubby did not think the Butter Chicken was that great a lot of rice. The other three loved theirs. The service was very very good. Not sure if I want to go back, maybe for the burger. But would not bad mouth the Restaurant. Thank you for caring what people think. Ex owners of 2 Restaurants. Hubby was a Chef.
