Really good food - service was ok - lights are very bright so not an amazing atmosphere
Service could definitely improve. The place was not busy but we had to ask for water, ask for more menus and the food came out in dribs and drabs with some of our party getting their order after others had finished. Considering that hospitality are supposed to be desperate for people to eat out, this was not impressive.
Delicious food and decent service and atmosphere. Would definitely go back.
