great locationfriendly staffdelicious food
the location was good. it provided value for the money. the food was LOVELY too. the staff was very friendly and helpful.
I think it's bad they charge a sufficient amount of service charge. It should be up to the customers if they want to give a tip or not, a bit crafty there.
