    Food was really good! Unsure why the fish and chips has that many fries, though.

    The quality of the meal was poor: the risotto was heavy, wet and tasteless. The duck was overdone, salty and hardly had any meat at all. Service was ok but things were left out (sauces, steak knife…) and it was very hard to get the server’s attention. It was a disappointing experience for a pricey restaurant and we won’t be coming back.
