This restaurant presents a contrast of experiences, from attentive service to disappointing meals. While some diners rave about the warm welcome and accommodating staff, others lament the cold, tasteless food reminiscent of outdated cooking styles. Positive reviews highlight excellent dishes and a varied menu, particularly praising the Sunday roast and allergy accommodations. However, lingering complaints emphasize the inconsistency in food quality, with several customers vowing never to return due to their less-than-satisfactory meals. Overall, the restaurant seems to offer potential, but a critical review of its culinary standards is necessary to elevate its reputation.
