Not terribly exciting but does the trick if you don’t want to walk far or meet up with some friends. For additional 15mins walking or hired car can be at more dynamic place with greater range and depth.

We were off to the theatre afterwards and told our waiter so he was quite prompt in bringing our wine and food , just as before service was excellent. It was extremely loud in the restaurant as there was a huge group at one end of the restaurant, but other than that lovely service and lovely food.

The meal was brought quickly, 3 sausages, 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast and some greens. Typical fare. Ordered coffee (Starbucks I believe) and the quantity was very generous for the price. We had 3 cups and a larger take away cup and still some coffee in the carafe. We missed the breakfast rush intentionally.
