They obviously were not amused with late guests as the waitress was constantly preparing the tables for breakfast (it’s a hotel restaurant) and our starters and main courses were served at the same time. They wanted to get us out as quick as possible, we didn’t feel welcome or appreciated at all.

Food was pretty ok for the price (apart from the creme brûlée which had a caramel 'lid' so thick and tough I nearly broke my tooth on it.
