Started off good, mains were lovely and had a waitress that was very good but then she and another waitress left half way during service then our mains were taken and we waited ages and had to ask for the desert menu. The deserts took ages to come out (although at least you could tell the brownie was freshly made). Then when we got the bill the waiter just stood waiting instead of coming back and after paying cash I had to go up and ask for my change instead of it being brought back to our table
