    Not as good as usual. The risotto was not cooked all the way, some bites were crunchy. The salmon was cooked perfectly. So 1 dish was great the other not so good. Service was great.

    Had early outside. Prompt and attentive service. Wedge salad was very good. Wine prices were reasonable. Lobster bisque was excellent. Fish and chips was crunchy, good size portions. Would go back again.
