    Food was great. My wife and I both had the double-smoked pork chop. We'll be back.

    The beef (both steak and prime rib) was tough. There was very little seasoning on both. The lamb meal wasn’t not good either. Barely any lamb and didn’t have much flavour either again due to lack of seasoning. We won’t bother again.
