Lovely place but seemed to be suffering with being quiet at yesterday's visit with menu significantly downsized from previous visits and a good number of items unavailable. On a positive the server was excellent as was the quality of the food even though basic menu items. Would love to see this place return to the standards that were obtained a few years ago.

Was just ok this time. No fresh vegetables available. We could smell weed coming from the back steps where staff were gathered and smoking as we left. Not a great look. Overall it felt this place has no atmosphere and felt rather neglected. Sad as used to be more lively and atmospheric.
