    The food was fantastic as usual. Normally the live band overshadows the rowdiness. I would have liked the live band.

    totally disappointed, we have attended this hotel in the past and had meals here which was really so good. I cannot say the same as of Sunday being Mothers Day, I never enjoyed the meals i cannot recommend this hotel nor will I go back. Food was poor and overcrowded, and for the price, I could have eaten elsewhere and got some change.. Staff was great!!!
