    The noise level was much too high for me. I ordered the gourmet toastie with, avocado,mushrooms, cheese and spinach. It was beautiful. My cousin ordered the salted calamari with chips. She enjoyed it as well. We had to wait a long time to get our food, that was ok as it gave us time to talk.

    Lovely place to eat, but slow to serve and meals are pricey. It was a shame that there is a time limit to enjoy more of the ambiance
