2 of us arrived at just after 21:30 and were immediately told we would have to be quick although the restaurant was supposed to be open until 22:45. Far from a friendly welcome. We ordered quickly and the food and drinks arrived promptly but were just dumped on the table.

My cutlery was literally chucked on the table in front of me and when they cleared the table they checked my beer bottle still had some in it, left that but took away my glass. The entire restaurant was empty when we arrived at 8pm (unsurprisingly) with any atmosphere only developing when the pubs started the empty and the place become crowded with tables of...
