    Waited for what seemed like ages to be greeted and seated. Place seemed to be understaffed or just lacked direction. Food was nice but portions small, not everything on the menu was available. Definitely better value for money to be had elsewhere in Bright. Was disappointed as l was so looking forward to trying this restaurant.
