Food Quality

Cons:

• "My only issue was that I found the food to be a bit on the bland side for my palette."
• "Only complaint would be that it was not seasoned well. Kind of bland."
• "We ordered the bread basket for a starter and were both very pleasantly surprised, the quality for the price was amazing but it was the best bread basket we had ever had."
• "The only sad part was my husband and I fell very ill that night and was very sick for the next three days and the only thing we could think of was the oysters as everything else we ate was cooked."
• "Dessert was the only disappointment as the ice cream didn't come out with it."
• "The lobster was a disgrace. It seems as though the chefs had removed the majority of the meat from the carcass and topped it up with obscene amounts of cheese."
