    As visitors from New Zealand, we really enjoyed our evening here. The venue was just around the corner from our hotel and the online booking process was easy - we booked 24 hours in advance, choosing the early (dinner) session. It was great for us to see Harvey Mandel and his band live - although he must now be in his late seventies at least, he has lost none of his guitar technique or ability to let it rock. We had a choice of tables and opted for one near the front, which gave us a good view of the stage. The quality of the food was surprisingly good and exceptionally good value. A brilliant selection of craft beer too. One final bonus - the sound level was just right - not too loud for us two oldies.
