    The food was pretty good, bit table service was slow, we waited quite a while to order. We won't be returning after seeing that being 5 minutes late will incur a $10 charge.

    Hi Jessica we are so sorry it took longer than normal to place your order. I can assure you we dont and have never charged any fee for late arrival. I hope you now feel comfortable to return

    Great food. Unimpressed that bills cannot be split. With today’s technology, it’s easy. Makes it difficult for large groups. Will not be returning.

    Unfortunately it's lost its flair, not many options and the chairs were broken. It's sadly lost the quality it used to have
