My partner and I were there for a romantic evening together. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. We really enjoyed the food. We asked to be sat outside which unfortunately the ambience is spoilt by the behaviour of local residents. I understand the restaurant staff can not control this but it really did have an impact on us. We would probably have had a better ambience if we sat inside.
