The food was amazing we didn't have a starter as we choose mixed grill for 2, there was enough food actually for 3 people. Unfortunately 2 members of staff hadn't arrived so it took nearly an hour for the food to arrive which is why I haven't given 5 stars for service, but those people working were friendly polite and apologetic for the delay . Would definitely recommend the restaurant
