    Overcharged me 1000% on the bill, then expect me to simply accept a sorry as compensation. The food is okay and service is friendly, but a lot to be desired from management and how they handle their mistakes. I had to wait until Monday for my money, had debit orders bounce and was offered a discount on my next meal to make up for this, as if I'd ever want to visit this place again!

    My family and myself had a ball of a time enjoying all the delicious foods and desserts that was prepared and what I like the most was that all the dishes was kept full at all times. There was never a moment when u wanted a certain dish and it was empty it was at all time refilled. The kidz hang them self on the ice cream.
