Fish & Chips were tasty BUT a bit expensive for the quantity provided. Buffalo chicken wrap was good as well.

The food was good but the service was not. After being there for a long time I had to go to the bar and ask for menus. I also had to ask when the serve came for the specials which he did not know so another person had to come and tell us them. The food came quickly. I had to get the server to give us the bill.

I believe that when a list of specials is verbally delivered to you that all restaurants should also include the price for each special. This was not done here.

It started out lovely. Wonderful greeting from staff. Beautiful linen cloths and glass wares on tables. Brucetta and cheese brought out complimentary. Then it all went downhill. We ordered the insalada a novella which had the core of the cabbage in it and wilted greens. I ordered the sole and it was so fishy I took 2 bites and left the rest. At this point all the waiters were eating so no one even questioned y my whole dish was untouched. Very disappointing !!!
