    Food was delicious, space was clean. We didn't love being sat next to the children's play area, however it was a great spot if you had young children

    Food was excellent and served promptly. The one very disturbing aspect was that clean cutlery was not readily available, and when we requested forks, the young girl behind the counter swished some in a bucket of something for a very brief 2 seconds, wiped them with what I am hoping was a clean cloth and handed them to us....not sure if these utensils had already been run through a dishwashing cycle after they had been used by others....
