    Just astounded how the wait staff just delivered one plate at a time and it appeared that all meals the same were delivered to different tables in succession. For example we ordered a garlic bread and 5 x main meals. One meal came before the garlic bread (this was the Chicken Parmigarma (we noticed that the rest of the meals being delivered was this meal as well) and then another meal was served and by the time the other three meals were served the first meal had been eaten. Then, we ordered two desserts. After 20 minutes I went up to the counter and politely asked what the delay was. I was told in no uncertain terms "there are others who have waited for more than 45 minutes for their main meals so you will just have to wait". We were absolutely shocked and could not believe how rude he was. Another 20 minutes went by and then all a sudden all the desserts came out at once. Would we return here, Not a chance.

    We made a booking on line. When we arrived we were rudely told to find our name in a table. Our name wasn’t on a table so we were told we could sit anywhere. Service was below average at best. Atmosphere was below average.
