Four of the five dishes we ordered were excellent. The Lasagne was not as great as the rest although the side salad served with it was really nice.

Overall a good experience but a bit over the top that we were asked by 3 or 4 different waiters if we would like to order a drink within the first two minutes of our arrival, so can't complain about the service! Our meals came very promptly so thank you

we had booked a table but it seemed there was no table reserved, so it took a while to find one. Apart from that all else was great!

With the new entrance area opened a few people where unclear where to go to the restaurant, and the staff were busy making coffee, and busy so there was no one to talk to, I took the people who didn't know where to go down with me as I did. Maybe better signage/directions would be handy. My muesli was great until the end when there was a long dark hair found in the fruit.

Very friendly , attentive and efficient staff . A pleasant and relaxed cafe setting . However my scrambled eggs were over cooked and I didn’t really enjoy. The bacon that I had with the dish was very nice .

While meals were acceptable the huge quantities on the plate made it difficult to manage. There were no SMALL plates to choose from, everything was huge and off putting.
