Exterior uninviting, interior bland and uninspiring. But in as much as we were very hungry, we decided to give Daveys a try anyway.

Waiting staff didn't really have much sense of urgency and appear more attentive towards some other diners who are clearly regulars..

The mood started to wain further when a couple of noisey young children were brought in, as we only wanted to enjoy our food in peace and quiet.

Then...

Our food was brought out in a timely fashion, without excessive waiting time, and was of a quality that rapidly turned my frown upside down !! I rated this eatery with 3 stars as I was considering everything in the experience that it was. I would have no difficulty in giving a 5 star review, if, on my next visit the place had been brightened up a bit.. this in itself would probably re-motivate the waiting staff into being more expedient and attentive, and this in itself would probably be rewarding to Daveys in the form of increased revenue, but also in the form of gratuities for the staff.

We intend to give Daveys another go, perhaps sometime in the New Year, so fingers crossed..
