Great food and atmosphere very friendly and staff quick service

Just awful. I took my daughters for lunch while in the area and I wish I hadn't. The restaurant had a very strong smell of old fat. The skins were thrown onto the dips so we're covered in thick mayonnaise. One daughter asked for ketchup and I can't even explain what it looked like! Pizzas were typical of this type of restaurant but sadly the margarita was covered in dry herbs and the pepperoni which we asked for with no chilli, instead had a strong spicy pepperoni on. My pasta was covered in a watery milk, nothing like the creamy sauce it should have been. The waitress knew we weren't enjoying our meal as she looked embarrassed when she cleared all of our plates. We often visit pizzeria restaurants and get the specials and enjoy them but this is a place I won't re visit. Staff standing on the step smoking is also a big put off for me

Booked a table last minute without a problem, for a Sunday evening meal. Staff attentive and friendly that was the only bonus . What can I say the food was absolutely SHOCKING disgusting, potatoe skins were just thrown on a plate over cooked, no thought . Then the main oh my we ordered the set meal of 17.95 starter main course desert . We ordered the steak asked for it to be medium cooked ...the steak was tough as old boots didn't even taste like steak had a peculiar taste . I asked for the santana sauce white wine with garlic !!! Tasted like sick . I think it had been frozen then heated in the microwave.My husbands was just as bad if not worse. Never again qas
