    Food was fantastic as always. Service didn’t seem as good today. The table wasn’t ready when we arrived so we had to wait, the server took a long time to come round to us then missed our side off the order. By the time we got her attention to ask about it, then it took a long time to come out and we were practically done. They did apologise when it finally came over and gave it on the house but would have been nice for her to have apologised at the time of the mistake. We also couldn’t find her to order dessert or to pay so ended up asking other staff and going up to pay at the counter. We go here often and it’s likely a one-off.

    Food was really nice. When we got it. Service was seriously slow to the point where we were about to leave. Close to an hour from arrival to food just for a cooked breakfast
