    We could not order the drinks that we wanted. You need to hire more waiters.

    Drinks arrived slowly and in single file. Took 15min from the first person was served a drink before the 6th/last got something. Not nice for me as the host.

    Sorry guys! the food was terrible. I ordered the cheese burger and my friend ordered the chicken burger...... it was barely palatable - i asked my friend about the chicken burger...."not great" was the reply. When people make the effort to eat out at a restaurant, they want to feel like it is a treat because they don't have to cook or clean up. This experience left us feeling that we could have just stayed home and prepared a better meal ourselves. Seriously underwhelmed!
