Yes the food was good but the service was poor as there was a function on upstairs. However it was worth waiting for. The fish dish that I had was delightful. Not much of an atmosphere unfortunately but we did enjoy the food

We had no trouble getting a table on a public holiday. Our main courses were excellent and generous, but slow to come. The hot chips were wonderful. But the panna cotta dessert was awful. The waitress was ok but mumbled and was difficult to hear. Prices were fair.

Have just got home very late after waiting over 1 and 1/2 hours for our meals. Main course only. One meal arrived an hour before everyone else's. Two arrived with no veg for another 15 minutes. One never arrived at all. We had to complain repeatedly to get any compensation. Manager finally agreed to deduct the meal that had to be re-ordered but said he would deduct it from waitresses salary. Not even sure that's legal. Took a risk and ordered two desserts if they would come quickly. (They said they would). The panna cotta sat 'not quite' under the lights for 10 minutes so was soggy when it arrived. Gelato was the worst I have ever had and had only one of the 3 flavours I was told would come! AND we had to chase them up after a 15 minute wait. The wait staff were lovely and working really hard. We had booked so they knew there were 18 of us arriving. Spoiled what was meant to be a good night out.
