The meal was inedible. There was no check back from the staff, and the service was poor. We will not be returning to dine here again. It is a shame to see the decline in quality at this establishment.

I visited their gender neutral restroom after a man had used it and encountered a puddle of urine in front of the toilet, a dirty seat, and no hook to hang my bag. I felt very uncomfortable.

Very tasty and good value. What a fantastic museum to also wander around too. And a Thursday film night once a month.
