Went for lunch and it was quiet. I was worried that it won't be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I ordered wings and fish & chips both were excellent. Service was very good. It is a very nice space thou with only a few people in the restaurant the atmosphere was quiet. Perhaps on a Friday/Saturday before a movie it would be busier.
It was very quiet when I visited, and the food was prepared quickly and tasted amazing. The staff were friendly—I definitely recommend this place.
Disappointing. Food was Okay, but not great. Extremely long wait, 30 minutes for food to arrive, considering the restaurant was almost empty. Throughout the entire dining experience, not a single waiter attended to our table, all spent their time talking at the bar. We were served by a manager who seemed to always be in a hurry to run off somewhere.
Want to thank the man with an orange apron (KP?), who served our dishes and wished us a good meal, as without his kind service, we genuinely would have left.
