As ever the food and service were excellent. A little noisy in the main restaurant and a child’s birthday party didn’t help.

We were not asked if we had any allergies by our waitress ( we had a GF diner with us) We’re not asked if we wanted anymore drinks during our meal. The food was very nice although my gravy was very salty. We had 4 different serving staff attend to us, maybe they were changing over shifts.
