    Very underwhelming. The reviews I had read are in my view misleading. This was a mediocre experience. Low ambiance inside the restaurant, disinterested service, bland and unexciting food. Really nothing to write home about. The only good thing was that we did not get food poisoning but that’s a low bar. I do not plan to return and would not recommend. There are plenty of other good places in the vicinity.

    Took a bit too long for the food to come, and had to ask twice, by which point it was so late and dark we didn’t want pudding. Tuna was the best dish of the three ordered, starters were good.

    Service was poor. This restaurant is not as good as it used to be. Won’t be going back
