    Food was fine. But we were waiting 45 minutes for food and about 20 minutes for drinks at a quiet time (3pm) Also, felt the food was overpriced for the quality. Staff were friendly enough

    The perfect setting to gather with friends and family, as well as to celebrate important occasions like birthdays and farewells. Wonderful food, wonderful drinks, and wonderful service. Thank you, Giovana, for the great service!

    Was as lively and vibrant as for all our many visits over the years. Food menu seemed reduced from previous times but the food we had was good. Food was slow to arrive. However, a discount to the bill even though we hadn’t yet offered any feedback or complaint. Good experience overall

    Far exceeded my expectation. We only went as we thought the kids would enjoy it so we weren’t expecting much with the food but it was actually really good. The kids both cleared their plates which they don’t do often. There was also a great selection of drinks. Service was great and the waitress was friendly and good with the kids.

    Food was tasty, service was bad waiting at least 40 mins for main course with no apologies for being late. Server no clue what I was saying I asked for tin foil or a box to take home food. Maybe he was having an off day or something.
