    Fabulous experience from start to finish. Lovely staff who were attentive but not overbearing. Prompt service from taking orders to serving food - although the food arrived before our drinks (a beer and a non alcoholic cocktail). The food was cooked perfectly, presented well and served hot. The portion sizes were just right (chicken schnitzel each and 2 sides shared between 2 adults). No rushing us but we had to leave to catch trains otherwise we could have stayed for the evening! Very polite and courteous staff who treated us very well. Thank you.
