Lovely waitress, just the right amount of attention. Food was tasty and just rhe right amount as advised by staff. Generally we'll.prices but £5 for a few olives is still hard to see! Only a few tables with seats rather than stalls so if you don't like sitting on stalls and it's busy might be worth reconsidering. Overall would definitely recommend
