Despite the recent bad reviews we decided to try the restaurant as it's only a mile to walk from our hotel. From the outside it looks shabby & certainly could do with some TLC. The meal was excellent, the manager was trying to do all the serving himself which was nice in a way as it gave us chance for our food to go down between servings. There was a musty smell around the men's toilets which you have to pass to get to the ladies. I'd be happy to dine there again.
Super food,great value, very friendly service, will be going again soon.
