    The tables are extremely small and they don’t space out the food so that you have time to make room for new dishes. The bathroom was EXTREMELY dirty.

    Our grill barely worked. We had to flag down our waitress twice to try to fix it. The meat that should have taken 20 seconds to cook took two minutes. Our waitress barely came to our table. Didn’t ask if we wanted a refill on our drinks. Took our plates but never brought back another. Hostess was rude as well and sat 4 people at a small two person table, the staff could barely fit the food on our table.

    In the past 3 years we've probably made 10+ reservations. Zero of those trips had us seated on time. Zero seated 10 minutes late. It was about 25 minutes last night. It's good, but you don't respect the staff (poor hostess was so stressed and not her fault) & you don't respect your customers.

    We had the holiday special which included various starters and sides and various meats for bbq. Good value for money. We re from the UK and I don’t think there is one in the UK unfortunately or we will be returning.

    Lots of fun. We ate well. Very loud, difficult to converse, we listened to neighbours’ conversations instead. We ordered an extra bowl of rice for the course for three people, definitely a good move. Great fun with older kids.
