Melanie:"We Didn’t Stay To Eat It looked a rather run down from outside but it's the middle of winter. No better inside. No drinks or menus offered as we sat downstairs. Taken up to restaurant where we had to wait for a waitress coming out carrying a large tray of dirty pots. Told to put my coat on the back of my chair when I asked the waiter to take it, only 4 chairs although we’d booked for four, no sparkling water and awful menu which could have been picked from the local tiny Co-op! I told them it wasn't what we had expected and left! They still charged us for drinks and they were extortionate. Don’t go."
