    Nice and warm and cozy. Great tasty food presented well and ample portion. Service was very slow. The king fish was a little over cooked and the stew/sauce was incredibly sweet. The oxtail was fantastic in all regards. Wasn’t a fan of the Mac and cheese clearly being cut out of a pre prepared big tray and stuck in a bowl. All good options other guests had looked fab. Would return. Prices were good.
