Cons:

• "Advertised as being open until 10:30pm, we went at 8:30pm and they refused to serve us, as non locals."
• "The only downside is parking. Even though we were eating there, we had to park our car quite some distance as not a parking space to be had."
• "A really nice spot but we had a rather cold welcome from the 3 young lasses behind the bar last night."
• "The welcome we received, with two well behaved dogs was curt, this wasn't dog friendly (as advertised)."
