“The food here is wonderful, it’s ran by the same family for almost 50 years!!! The waiter we had was lovely and very attentive despite being busy (this is a very popular restaurant). The waiter overheard that this was a birthday (and made her 93rd extra special), he double checked and offered nosecco (alcohol free prosecco for my grandma) and he knew we needed a coffee after! I also loved the fish tank Wonderful dining experience with fantastic food”
