Food was excellent. Some of the wait staff were inexperienced - basically filled one wine glass with the last 1/4 from the bottle ensuring we had to purchase another bottle for the remaining guests.

Food was great. Staff were friendly but the service was very slow. Our wine even arrived after we had finished our meal. There were only two wait staff on and this clearly was not enough for a busy night.
