The food is very good, the location is lovely. A few more servers would assist the overall rating. While very good, there is just too much for the available staff to do, and while I know Monday lunchtime is not peak, it would have been better with another one or two staff available. We will be back.

Great GF food and knowledge. Staff were great, although the manager could have helped with the drink service instead of sitting down to chat to a new employee. The young girl was flat chat making cocktails and serving drinks on her own with several tables full.
