Honestly, it doesnt seem or look like much in the bowl but in this case looks are indeed deceiving!<br/ <br/ My friend ordered the Salmon Waffles. There were two small waffles under a generous serving of salmon, served with fresh pesto. The plating of the dish was amazing! They used so many colours in their garnish and again, although it looked small my friend said it was really filling!<br/ <br/ I will also commend them for their coffee, it was perfect and even the latte art was amazing! The staff were lovely, our waitress was happy to have a conversation with us when we initially arrived and even as we were leaving, they asked us how everything was and if there were any improvements they could make.<br/ The ONLY improvement: the chairs need cushions :D<br/ <br/ Overall I was impressed with the customer service, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the perfect coffee really was the cherry on top!<br/ <br/ Ps. Please don't forget the cushions hehe

Unfortunately it was a menu error and they don't have their licence yet, but the Ploughmans was still pretty awesome. Good coffee and friendly prompt service, we will definitely be back...
