Really nice!

Good grub

Had a good meal, server was lovely but the supervisor (seater) was a misery and rude to the other staff!! I think I would have split was food over him if I worked for him --oops sorry didn' t see you there!!! He spilt food all over the floor then walked off waving his finger at the mess and at the server!! Watching his attitudespoilt the experience a bit, other wise a nice group and nice place.
