Firstly I cannot fault the floor staff, they were polite, efficient and extremly apologetic when we complained about our food and drinks!Not their fault! The food was horrible. Under cooked Springrolls, miserable portion of just about edible Calamari and overcooked soggy chips. We ordered two of the same cocktails( tropical spritz i think they were called) It was the most repulsive mixture i have ever tasted and im not fussy with alcohol! The only good thing about the place was the staff. I will...
