Not a bad cafe when well staffed but can be frustrating at busy times. A pleasant area to sit outside on a sunny day.

The restaurant had long queues and not enough staff. The 'hand made' cold drinks were awful, with my friend receiving a terrible iced tea that lacked flavor. Th...

The restaurant is overpriced since they have a captive audience. It would be great if the quality of the drinks justified the cost. I have had some of the worst...

Everything at this establishment was priced too high. Understandable, as it is a tourist destination. However, charging £3 for a single ice-cream when you can b...
