The manager lady was not doing her job at all. It took 20 mins for our drinks to arrive at the table and we had to ask for water three times, this was still forgotten about so I had to get up and get my own jug off the counter. There were only two staff serving on a busy night and the service was just not there.

So disappointing. Firstly they had no record of my booking. They blamed Open Table. Not a particularly good menu. Service very average. Food average as well for the high prices. Small meals. Six of us decided we would never go back.
