We had lunch here and ordered off the lunch menu. The food was good quality, the meat was cooked nicely and delicious but the portion size was very small, and I would not say it’s good value for money. It was more like a starter than a lunch. We had to go for some more food elsewhere afterwards to satisfy our hunger. The restaurant was nice inside, the staff were friendly and accommodating. The bathroom was all the way down a dark staircase, I felt like I was walking down to a store-room.
