Food was nice. Nothing special and not sure it's worth the price. Have had nicer meals in other places for less.

Very good service in a busy (a little noisy) restaurant. 2 mains (burger and chicken) were good - but nothing special. Some main courses expensive. But a pleasant evening enjoyed.

Steak totally over priced @ 49 euros. The meat was fatty and nearly not worth the effort trying to eat it.
