It was all really good and came out very quickly.The staff were very friendly and helpful (gave us good recommendations) and the service was really quick.

“ Went for a meal as a group of 4, the tables are very close together if you are given Booth type seating which makes eating slightly uncomfortable. The food is good, service was ok, it was busy so the waiters were rushed off their feet! The place can get very noisy when there are a lot of people in ”

- David Healy -

“ We come every year for my mum's birthday & we're getting from them in place of Christmas days dinner. The staff are welcoming, the food is on point & the atmosphere is always welcoming. ”
