    Drinks were very slow to arrive. The waiting staff were rushed off their feet - not enough staff at the busy pre theatre time - they were all working hard. Bathrooms a mess - someone ought to regularly check them. Food excellent and good value.

    Food was good as normal, we had plenty of time for our meal (1.5hrs) but the staff seemed very rushed and it seemed to take longer than usual to get through our meal and I ended up paying before we received our desserts to ensure we left in time.

    Very small portions served for high menu prices. They charge for everything eg....if you ask for hot sauce (£2.5). If you ask for a mixed drink like rum and coke, they don't explain that they will be charging £4 extra for the coke. I am afraid to ask for an extra napkin, because they may charge for a napkin and charge you on your bill. The food is average in quality but very small portions are served.....so very poor value for money.

    Thanks Nevash - we hope you try us again some time.
