    It’s not a restaurant, it’s a casino. Average to poor food, no guests, lonely and abandoned in a cellar! The waiter was nice though👍

    Booked at short notice, excellent food and service. Will definitely be back as I saw other items being served which all looked delicious. I had the chef’s dish of the day, a salmon fillet on a bed of spinach and mash with hollandaise sauce. The ambience was great, I didn’t realise it was in a casino, but hey, you never know where you might find a hidden gem.

    Unfortunately they were 2 mices running around the place. The food was excellent, the staff was very very nice and they didn’t allow us to pay, but having 2 mices running around was not nice to say the least. And I ready love mices.
