    Decorated beautifully for Xmas and great atmosphere. Could have done with some Xmas music. The food was delish - had the Xmas sandwich and it didn't disappoint. The wine was lovely too and our waitress was charming, funny and excellent at her job. Great time was had.

    Fish and chips, we found pathetic. Portions were too small gor what you osid for. A group if 7 women and not one of us has anything good to say. Would not reccomend this place. I found it quite insulting that you would serve those portions to your clientele.

    Everything was perfect, the waitresses did a great job, food was good and drinks too. My only issue is about the hostess, very rude, didn’t greet us or looked up once while I talked to her, chewing a gum and seemed very impolite. I was expecting a better professional for such a nice place. I’m grateful everyone else didn’t disappoint.
