Excellent food, particularly the mixed grill and breakfast options, complements the remarkably attentive and friendly staff, who accommodate everything from dietary needs to late arrivals with genuine warmth. It's clear the recent refurbishments have elevated the entire establishment, making it a place one would readily recommend.”
