  10 of us went here for a family dinner, they reserved us a huge table, the staff were really attentive and the food was delicious. We have a few people who can be picky over the type of food they eat and even they had a great meal. 100% recommend this place as a safe bet to go

  This was my first visit since I was eighteen, thirty odd years ago and it is still under the same ownership. It has a wide menu of options and the cooking is of good quality. I loved my Chinese pork, but my wife was less pleased with her fish dish which was for her a little bit over powered by the sauce. But this, I think, is a question of taste rather than an important criticism of the food. This restaurant has been open a long time and is very busy and this should be considered a better indication of how good the fare they offer is. However because it's popularity the restaurant is quite noisy and perhaps not the place to go for a quiet romantic meal. (Not like thirty years ago when I found it very Romantic indeed). But the hot fudge sundae is still to die for.

  Well what a disappointment! The past two visits the food has been BAD... I mean really Bad. I had to ask for a steak knife to cut my roast beef the other week which I didn't end up eating because it was so dry and tuff. The service was just as bad as the food, they were busy and unable to effectively manage the bookings they made and so the food and service was compromised. Two of the waitresses seemed to have an attitude problem and ignored some of our diners. Out of a party of 10 I think only four of us enjoyed our meals. One meal was sent back and swapped for another which wasn't cooked to standard either. I've been here four times and only one of the visits was nice. service is usually good but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely over rated.
  
  I had a nice time but that was only because we was with friends. nothing about the most recent trip was good at all. The ladies visited the w/c with their coats on because it was so cold back there.
