The Jas Cafe — Restaurant in Ladysmith

My overall verdict is: the single best restaurant I have...

Finally we just walked out as we still saw no signs of getting any service whatsoever. Horrendous service. They need to decide whether they are a coffee shop or serious about doing the dim sum thing and actually serve it. Likely...
