    When I was young, I veered towards privately owned restaurant but now some chain one such as Wahaca which we always call the "Mexican" but in view of Trump the "American". Nowadays chain can mean dependable, good choice, dependable and most tasty with good value for money and great service.

    Excellent waitress: attentive, friendly and funny plus knew the right amount of time to leave people to their choosing or meal. Excellent food: every dish delicious, fresh and moreish! This meal was celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday and they were kind enough to allow my daughter to surprise her by bringing a homemade cake to the restaurant for dessert. A very convivial evening was had by all our party, thank you!

    Food was delicious but a little slow to come out especially drinks. Waitress was very attentive and personable but took a little while to get the bill as it seemed everyone was getting ready to close the restaurant. Overall a lovely experience although a little pricey for what it is so more of a special occasion meal for the future
