We had a wonderful evening celebrating my wife’s birthday yesterday evening. Krystal was such a welcoming host, attentive but allowing us space throughout. All interactions were warm but professional and we were taken care of so thoroughly, never rushed. She happily prepared and presented the cake I dropped off earlier in the day and was so patient and kind to our twins. Thank you Krystal!
The food was fantastic also, thank you to all involved.

Food was nice, but the wrong dish was delivered firstly, and another mains was dry, like it had been left under the hot plate far to long. - Starters and deserts however were amazing!

When entering the restaurant, we were told it would be a 40minute wait for food, as all in the party (3 of us) had experience in hospitality, we obviously understood the hassle on a saturday night. We waited around 20mins for anyone to come over to us, after watching our waitress go to 2 tables (both who had been sat after us) prior. When we did get seen to, we ordered drinks and then asked if we were ready for food, 2 were ready and opted to go first until the third was ready. Our waitress dismissed us being ready and told us she’ll be back and went to take another tables order. Once ordered, the food took longer than told at the door (obviously we understand an exact prediction can’t be made but being in the restaurant over an hour with nothing was tedious) We eventually had our meal which was delicious, can’t complain about the food at all. However, during our meal we had little to no interaction with our waitress, with the exception of a quick how’s everything whilst passing. As said, I understand it’s a busy night but watching our waitress have long conversations with all tables around us, it felt personal, not sure if this difference was due to us being 3 18/19 year olds and the rest of the tables being couples, around middle aged. When we come to pay our bill, our server was very blunt, coming across rude when she had made a mistake. As we split the bill, we had worked out how much we each wanted to pay, however, we were told we were wrong and there was more to pay, we politely said there shouldn’t be and we were met with a sigh and told they’d be right back and stormed off. On top of this, one of the three of us was questioned whether she was going to contribute to the bill when I was paying for her share due to it being a birthday meal (we didn’t mention as she didn’t want a big fuss of anything that is usually received at restaurants). This made my friend who was questioned feel intimidated due to the blunt delivery of the question. When she returned, she said we were right, but we didn’t receive an apology. From the appearance, we assumed our waitress was a manager due to the lack of uniform, however, she was the only person in the restaurant that was rude or blunt towards us with everyone else being kind and welcoming. The receipt said our servers name was Beata, but we didn’t get the name of our server so not sure if this is accurate. Overall, the food was lovely but the service strongly discouraged us from wanting to return.

Staff were very friendly, showing us to a seat by the air conditioning due to the hot weather.
Staff were prompt for the drinks and food order, and taking time to assist with food allergies (separate information folder) with the food arriving in good time.
Krystal assisted with choosing the desserts for my daughter who couldn't decide from the great choices.
