The Food was great but portions were very small for the price. I got a steak asked for medium and it was basically rare. Staff were friendly but we were waiting for quite a while for our plates to be taken after our main to see if we wanted dessert menus even when it wasn’t that busy. We weren’t asked did we want another drink, just overall poor customer service. But other than that acceptable.
