The waitress was friendly and attentive, think owner was on premises but did not make themselves known. Food good but restaurant / facilities had dated feel and overall ambience of a 1970's UK motorway services. On that basis would not be encouraged to return. (July, 2008)

Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Ambience 8, Value 9, Service 10

We totally enjoyed our night out celebrating our wedding anniversary. The only improvement that could have been made was provision of Sparkling Grape Juice as an alternative to wine. The owner, Gorg, was friendly and made us a complimentary drink. Thanks for a lovely meal. (The Smith's - March, 2008)
