Food Quality
Pros:
"We absolutely loved it. An amazing host has welcomed us into this lovely restaurant in the heart of Ova where everything was delicious with choices for everyone!"
"The highlights were the lamb, particularly the hotpot, the beef croquettes and the crab fettuccine."
"The food is so incredible and amazing quality, from the homemade bread to the roast lamb."
"Hands down the BEST roast I've had out. Incredible quality, extra everything and the staff and service was top notch."
"Everything is so delicious and very generous portions. The beef is really good and the potatoes are spectacular."
"All the ingredients are fresh. Since the food is not covered up with lots of sauces, I can taste the original flavor of each ingredient."
"The food was amazing! We could not believe how wonderful the rib eye, mushroom Wellington, croquettes and octopus salad were."
"Super delicious food served in a lighthearted place - and quick at that too."
"Incredible food and ambiance, the two managers we interacted with had a great sense of humour, were laid back and really brought the whole experience home."
Cons:
"However, some of the dishes we didn’t like that much such as linguine - average or even lower."
"With the beetroot & lobster dish - we felt that 4 small pieces of lobster is not enough… however the taste was good and the great combination of products."
"Beef was sinewy and chewy (but cooked to right temperature), vegetables seemed to be batch cooked and left under heat grill (potatoes were so tough I could barely cut them)."
"Far too much salt across most dishes especially the meat croquettes."

Cons:
"Three of the guests at our table ordered non alcoholic drinks on the menu but were told they did not have it so that was a bit of a disappointment."
"Our desserts took a long time to get to us (around 45 mins)."
"Service was fine though we had three or four different people attend to us over the course of the meal so it could have been more consistent."
