    Our meals were really good. We had some flatbreads, salads (huge) and hot sandwiches. The service was great. We sat outside under heaters and enjoyed the holiday decorations and a huge, glorious Christmas tree. Fantastic night.

    Unlike the couple of negative reviews at the start, we had a great waitress and excellent food (the roast chicken is as good as I’ve ever tasted). Now this may be because my family loved these restaurants years ago but we thought the ambience was exactly right and everything was value priced!

    This is a throwback to the 1960’s, when the Rat Pack played here. Within an old hotel, we were warmly greeted upon entering and shown to our table. The waitress was attentive and graciously fulfilled our requests for putting cheese on the side and swapping a vegetable from one meal to another. The food was delicious! Wasn’t expecting that. We saw a show with Rose headlining. She has a pleasant voice and even more pleasant personality. We stayed to the very end. Thank you, we really enjoyed the experience.
