Absolutely amazing! Second time there and all staff are incredible and will treat you with utmost respect! The food was delicious and the menu gives you a suggestion drink to have with it. Deserts were mouthwatering! Noise was at a great level as we booked for the earliest possible time but our first booking was in the later and it was louder but it’s never over whelming where you can’t hear who you’re talking to! Definitely will be returning
