We then asked the one girl who was serving the customers in the restaurant what was happening with our food?...Please note only of the customers in the restaurant actually had food on their tables. She told us our food will be with us in ten minutes. minutes later my friend went up to the counter and asked the one chef who was cooking for the customers where our food was. We were told he had not even started cooking our food. The restaurant was very heavily focusing on take away orders rather then the customers in the restaurant! We were not the only customers who were unhappy with the lack of service and food in the restaurant! I will not be coming back. When we walked out we were offered some cake which would have been a nice gesture before we had gotten up to leave the restaurant!

Several couples who came in after me had theirs taken AND were served and yet I was ignored so I finally walked out and won’t waste my time...there again. The cafe was not busy, the staff resorted to cleaning it was that empty if you don’t think a single customer is worth your effort, you shouldn’t be in hospitality.
