Food took an hour to come and found mine was quite burnt and unenjoyable. No one served us for over 15 minutes just for drinks and then another 15 for food.

"Maybe this place is as good as people say, but I wouldn't have any idea how to discriminate women with babies. When I came up with a baby, I was told that we cannot have one of several empty tables, because it is “policy to serve or rather its policy is that mothers should confine themselves to their own houses!? I came to sit and eat drinking on the terrace with family and friends not serve my month old"

"We ate at this restaurant a few years ago when it was in a different location, and at the time I can truthfully say it was up there with one of the best meals i have had anywhere in the world, so we had to go again, we were not disappointed, the atmosphere is relaxed the staff so friendly and the food was beyond good , no words could tell anyone how good this place is , just go and enjoy every second !!!"

"We enjoyed a nice afternoon tea and the food was lovely. unfortunately some acetate/plastic was left on one the items which had a chocolate wrap around. We didn't notice this until one of our party had it in there mouth, it could have been a chocking hazard but luckily she realised. When we told they staff they didn't apologise and ther response was it sometimes happens. We feel that they should have at least given a small apology."
