Pretty place, and obviously popular. Noise level is awful, even in the garden. I was disappointed in the food, as the place was recommended for the food. The French Toast was dry, and not soaked enough or just not enough egg. The omelette was average. It took a long time to get our starter coffees, and at that time the were not full. Later, it became very bus and I know it was harder for the staff.
