Food and drinks were excellent as usual. Was also noisier than usual that day. The scallops do underperformed a little. Scallops were a bit tough. Wouldn't order that dish again. I tried the roasted potatoes with yogurt sauce for the first time, and it was delicious. And of course, anything you can dip the bread in is fantastic.

Food was good. But the service wasn’t as good. My server was hardly ever to be found. Then someone in my group didn’t get their food until it was time to go.
