                                                        Lovely dinner last night before attending a concert. It was also a celebration for my mother’s 70th birthday. We had a lovely night. I had requested a candle for dessert for my mother and the staff brought it out and sang to her. Overall fantastic evening. Thank you.

                                                        Usually go here before concerts in the 3 arena as it’s walking distance but had a really disappointing experience last night. Both my husband and me had burgers which were dry and literally cremated. Very disappointing as usually food is really good. Staff seemed very busy and stressed.

                                                        A clear improvment since summer. Food was good and service attentive. Not very crowded but still some wait due to few staff. Can recommend!
