I had high hopes after reading the reviews but in all honesty the food was really disappointing. The meats on the platter and the grilled fish lacked any sort of flavour. The burger however tasted okay. The food did however look aesthetically pleasing. The seating area is quite small and can become a little awkward when the tables are all occupied. Service was okay. We were constantly told how great their homemade chilli sauce was however were rather reluctant to give any, despite asking on multiple occasions (as the food lacked spice and flavour) we were finally given a tiny pot once we were almost done eating. Overall I wouldn’t recommend nor would I visit again.
