Sadly we waited for over 20 minutes before we were even brought water and a menu. It was a real shame because the food was great. Our server did try to make up for things by being super attentive once he realised that we were unhappy

Food wasn’t ok, tasteless and they don’t seem to know the difference between medium and well-done. Ice tea was literally earl-grey mixed with cold water and ice. All in all not what we expected or hoped for.
