    We have been to this restaurant many times. This meal was such a disapointment and we both agreed. The ceaser salad to start was underwelming and the family favourtie, anglehair pasta and lobster had next to no lobster in it this time! We finished the meal discussing where we should try eleswhere next time we get together. The service and ambiance was top notch, everything we expected. The food was below mediocre, and for the money.... Such a shame it has gone so downhill.

    service and food were both excellent as expected . As a popular restaurant the tables were full so the resulting energetic noise was expected and frankly good to hear after the quiet of COVID . Cheers
