    Waiter was extremely rude. Food is okay; however, requires improvement. The steak was not done as requested. I asked for medium and got medium well instead. Jollof rice was lovely. But the waiter spoilt my entire night. He was rude and moody. Staff needs training on how to treat customers and overall how to perform their duties. It felt like the waiter was doing us a favour by serving us. At some point, he just threw the plate on the table and left. Wow.

    Menu advertised tiger prawns but prince prawns served, restaurant and waiters should inform guests as a courtesy. Food, especially desserts were not fresh. Thanks

    We did the 3 course menu, the starters were delicious, I ordered the spicy grilled chicken salad while my husband had beef carpaccio. For the main, I ordered the the chicken while my husband ordered the meat, the meat was nice nd tender nd my chicken was okay, it was a bit blend nd the mash was really dry, I had to order some sauce. For dessert my husband ordered creme brûlée nd I ordered malva with a twist, his was not bad nd mine was blend, the chocolate sauce they added at the bottom gave it some taste. Overall it was not a bad experience, it could’ve been better though. The service though was good, our waitress was great nd very sweet.

    The steak was over done, ambiance lacked anything special. Felt like a standard meal you’d get at a hotel. Nothing special.
