Lovely service, very friendly (thanks Leah). We had a drink first outside as it was nice and there was no rush to be seated. Food was lovely. Some in our group found the served too big but not me! Nice busy atmosphere. The kids played outside on the tennis courts and they even provided a basket ball. Thank Bundy!
