Cons:

• "Parking was plentiful but it is a little bit cramped inside."
• "The most disappointing father's day meal, we won't return."
• "Restaurant its self is quite nice but very noisy."
• "The tables are close together so you can't have a private conversation. As they are so close together the noise gets louder as everyone is trying to be heard."

• "Price of food is good but beer is a little pricey."

• "Soft drinks are a tad expensive, hence the 4 stars."
• "Was expecting vat to be reduced as per government guide line, but does not look like it from the invoice."
