The staff were helpful, ensuring a satisfactory experience.
I was disappointed by the steak night. The steak was burnt, practically inedible, and cost £18.75. The waiter seemed disinterested and almost rude, a combination THAT ruined the experience. I expected better quality and service.

The service felt a bit slow. Some tables lacked preparation for customers. I noticed glasses left on tables from the previous night.
