Very average food, nothing special and very overpriced. We were really disappointed as we were really lookinf forward to some fine food. Live singer was extreemely loud making it difficult to interact. Service was slow. We have many email stating we had be out by a certain time, our main meal arrived with 15 minutes to go.
