    Was as lively and vibrant as for all our many visits over the years. Food menu seemed reduced from previous times but the food we had was good. Food was slow to arrive. However, a discount to the bill even though we hadn’t yet offered any feedback or complaint. Good experience overall

    Far exceeded my expectation. We only went as we thought the kids would enjoy it so we weren’t expecting much with the food but it was actually really good. The kids both cleared their plates which they don’t do often. There was also a great selection of drinks. Service was great and the waitress was friendly and good with the kids.
