had a wonderful dinner with my mum and great aunt and uncle. very nice mellow place service wasn't horrible but the young girls could probably use a bit more practice on hosting. need to see some more smiles too, cozy little place like that shouldn't have frowning faces, the one girl(blond) very pretty and has a beautiful smile but it sure disappears in a hurry and the other young girl wouldn't smile at all very disappointing (work shouldn't be a chore it should be fun). the french lady was very nice spent a few moments talking after our peek at the church, cant say i provided a stimulating conversation with my one word answers but i tried :). the man running the place was nice but seemed to be very busy kind of unusual when you have 3-4 sets of hands in a little place like this and only half full of people or less. more important note the cod and chips was very nice, on my way back though i will definitely have to stop in to try the rest of the menu :).
