The place itself is really nice but the food has nothing special. We had to wait half an hour to be served our food.

My experience here was awful Firstly upon arrival they didn’t have a table at all organised for our booking - the waiter scrambled to get a table for us ready by moving other people around. As we booked for outside unfortunately they didn’t put us in the shade so the table was out in the hot sun on a 35 degree day. We waited to move to a table in the shade, and they took a very long time to take even our coffee order. After finally ordering our food we waited at least 30 minutes due to some sort of mix up however the highlight of my experience was probably when a huge outdoor umbrella that was not secured to the base went flying in the air then tipped upside down with the metal part landing on my head. The wait staff didn’t seem aware of what was going on and were hardly apologetic of what had occurred, not even offering to take something off our bill. The food was ok however overpriced and so slow to come out. Definitely will not be returning
