"Overall, overpriced and disorganised."
"Some staff need hygiene training, as rubbing your nose with your hand and then using the same hand to pass out desert spoons is not good practice!"
"Poorly trained waiters (most of which were foreign and didn't understand English)."
"People were smoking and vaping at tables around us, we know it's hard and might put those people off but it would be much more pleasant to enjoy your wonderful food without having to put up with people's smoke and chemical clouds."
