    Booked for dinner on Saturday night before a gig at the Barrowlands. Place was mobbed as expected a gig across the road and the Saturday before Christmas. Its not the biggest of places and the amount of people coming in (fully booked but can come for drinks) but it was too many people! Brushing by the high tables, literally in your face as your trying to eat, awkward eye contact. The food was great and hats off to your staff - 2 servers and 1 behind the bar, but this did impact the experience. Had to ask to take the order, they were so stressed I felt stressed!!! The door just kept opening and opening more and more people, at one point the bar que was 3 deep, this isn't a place for a bar to be 3 deep.
