    A very long wait for our Pad Thai, exceeding 45 minutes. It was quite busy but we observed others who had arrived after us but were eating well before. Ours was a relatively simple dish so no obvious reason why. Have to say though that the meals came to us hot and very tasty so the afternoon wasn't an unmitigated disaster.

    The service was very good at our most recent experience and we received our meals quite quickly. The food was acceptable but the protein component in each of our meals was overcooked, which was a shame, as the quality of the components was good.

    The food was excellent as was the service. I had the Seafood Platter for 1 and was very impressed. My partner had the Chargrilled Lamb Backstrap and she was similarly impressed. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience.

    We were slightly disappointed with our dinner last night as the meals took about half an hour to arrive (which seemed slow compared to the usual fairly quick service) and the protein component of each meal was slightly dry and overcooked.

    We have been going (6 people) for well over 2 years on a monthly basis…staff have always been very friendly but today they were unfriendly and rude. I don’t think they like their jobs. Food as always was great and that being the reason we return monthly Pauline
